Two per cent lesson 2

Today we continue working with the story in chapter 4 "Two per cent"

As you hopefully guessed, the text is a short story- complete in itself.

Is there a twist?

Well- not like in Archer's stories?

What then is the twist in this story?

Today I want you to do two things while I will talk to you about the results of the Archer test and Reading /Listening mock national tests.

Just for information here are the grade levels as given by Skolverket:

A = 79-88
B=  70-78
C=  57-69
D=  46-56
E=  31-45  (35% was a pass that year!)

Planner, work completion and Context

Today we will start off by going briefly through the term planner.

As you can see a lot of lessons disappear for different reasons.

Marko Sandelin usually says that every cancelled lesson prolongs a teacher's life!

If you missed a part of the National Test or the Archer test you have the last chance today.

Next Tuesday when you are working on the Context text I will go through your results individually.

Back to today. You are going to work on chapter 4 "Two per cent"

By the end of the lesson you should have read the text and sent in the answers to the following questions:

Where and when do you think the text is set?

What is the text about?

Who are the main characters?

Do you think the text is free-standing or part of a longer work? (Motivate your answer)

What do you know about the author?

Finally do the comprehension questions- exercise A on page 49
