The Help
During the last few lessons of this semester we'll be watching the film The Help.
The story is set in Mississippi during the 1960s , and the main character of the film is Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to be a writer. She decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families, and in the process of doing so Skeeter turns her friend's lives - and the Mississippi town - upside down.
Before watching, discuss what you know about America in the 1960s. In what ways were the lives of the white people and the black people different?
After having watched the film we will discuss the following questions, so it could be a god idea to take some notes while watching:
1. Who was your favourite character? Why?
2. How much of a person’s character would you say is shaped by the times in which they live?
3. Do you believe that Minny was justified in her distrust of white people?
4. Do you think that had Aibileen stayed working for Miss Elizabeth, that Mae Mobley would have grown up to be racist like her mother? Do you think racism is inherent, or taught?
5. Do you think there are still vestiges of racism in relationships where people of color work for people who are white?
6. What did you think about Minny’s pie for Miss Hilly? Would you have gone as far as Minny did for revenge?

Week 6 - Class 9B
On Monday I won't be present, but Henrietta will stand in and be your teacher for the day. We'll skip the grammar exercises, but instead you'll spend more time on your book talks. Each group will get 15 minutes to prepare a summary of what you've read so far. This summary will then be presented to Henrietta who will take notes of your participation, as well as of how well she was able to understand the summary. Will waiting for Henrietta to get around to your group, you spend the time either reading your book or writing on your essay. This is also what you'll do for the rest of the class after Henrietta has listened to your summary.
On Tuesday you'll begin class by doing an adjective exercise on Grammarwise and then continue reading or writing. If you haven't yet signed up for the on-line course, Exploring English - language and culture, youäll get time to that that during this lesson.
Be aware that this week will be the last week during which you will get time in class to read and write. After the holidays all lessons for the following 6 weeks will be dedicated to the on-line course. This means that you will have to do the rest of your reading and writing at home. The first draft of your essay is to be handed in Tuesday week 9.
Deadline for your completed essay is on Thursday the 24th of March.

Pronomen, och naturligtvis book talk :)
Under vecka 6 fortsätter vi att repeterar pronomen genom att på måndag läsa om och träna possessiva och demonstrativa pronomen och på tisdag fortsätta med relativa pronomen. Vi tränar med hjälp av www.grammarwise.org, där ni först läser informationen och sedan gör quizet och visar mig resultatet.
På måndag kommer vi även att samlas i läsgrupperna för att diskutera veckans ämne som är
Describe the antagonist(s) in the book. Try and explain their actions, their reasoning and their path through life.
Is the novel similar to/does the novel remind you of a book you have previously read or a film you have seen. If so, in what way?
Det är fortfarande långt tid kvar tills dead-line för er uppsats, men använd er tid väl och ha i åtanke att vår on-line kurs från British Council börjar den 22/2. Det innebär att ni efter det kommer att få mycket mindre/ingen tid till att läsa och skriva i skolan.
Snart går årets The Big Challenge av stapeln. Jag vill att ni börjar fundera över om ni önskar att ta del av tävlingen i år.

Pågående form repeterar du med hjälp av sidan Grammarwise.
Länk: Grammarwise
Här behöver du börja med att skapa ett konto, vilket är gratis. När du väl har en inloggning har du tillgång till alla "lektioner" och övningar.
Börja med att läsa informationen om pågående form och gör sedan den quiz som finns på sidan. Eftersom ditt resultat här inte skickas automatiskt till mig vill jag att du visar mig hur det gick innan du stänger ner sidan,
Jag finns hela tiden till hands för att hjälpa till om det hänger upp sig eller är svårt att förstå.

Countable and uncountable nouns / articles
Svara på frågorna, först om räknebara och oräknebara substantiv och sedan om bestämd och obestämd artikel. Var noga när du anger din mailadress. Skriver du fel får du inte tillbaka ett svarsmail med dina resultat. Skriv också hela ditt namn under frågan Vad heter du? Alltså för- och efternamn. Tänk också på att du måste skriva första bokstaven i dina meningar (de gånger du förväntas skriva en mening) med stor bokstav och avsluta med rätt skiljetecken. Slutar meningen med punkt så skriver du punkt och slutar den med frågetecken så skriver du frågetecken. Datorn är smart när den ska rätta, men inte så smart att den kan rätta allt!

What we have learned about Ireland
During the past few weeks you have worked with preparing a presentation on Ireland. We've now listened to interesting facts about The great famine, Giant's Causeway, Irish food and hurling, among other things.
We had a look at the Padlet you made as an introduction to working with Ireland, and it was clear that it was pretty much unknown territory... From the padlet made in todays class we can see that you now know a little bit more, and hopefully the presentations have made you interested in finding out more!

If Dublin was a man I would marry him
15 years ago the Irish author Peter Sheridan published his book 44. A Dublin memoir. When released in Sweden, the title was Om Dublin var en kvinna skulle jag gifta mig med henne. I borrow that Swedish title, translated it back to English, and at once I had a sentence that very much sums up my feelings towards the capital city of Ireland,
I'm very excited to hear your upcoming presentations about Ireland, and I'm hoping that you, by gathering information and listening to each other, will appreciate the country for the magical place that it is.
