God made the light, and I made a template of how my students reading log should look like.

So, let's have a look at the assingments:

A Prayer for Blue Delaney – Reading-Log

Here are some tasks and advices for your reading.

After each chapter write in your blog about:

• Where does the story take place?
• Who is involved?
• What happened in the chapter?
• Your own comments/ideas (Did you like like it? Did you expect things like that? Etc.)

After chapter 10, 20 and 29 do one of the following longer tasks or chose your own idea.

1. Imagine you were a journalist. Write a newspaper article.

2. Imagine a conversation between two of the characters. What would they

    say?

3. Make a cloze text (Lückentext) Let your teacher copy it. Then give it to your classmates.

4. Write false/true questions.

example: Colm is Tom’s cousin. □false   □true

5. Make a multiple choice quiz. Let your teacher copy it. Then give it to your

    classmates.
