Assessment and "Looking for Alaska"

We start off today by doing an assessment of the course. You need to open the document and save your own copy before you can send it back to me as a message on Vklass.

Then we move on to "Looking for Alaska"- page 58-76.


Today I want you to work on your own...

Here are the questions:-

1. Who are the Culver Creek Nothings?

2. Why do they play basketball and not soccer at Culver Creek?

3. What does the Colonel do at every home match?

4. How many times has he been kicked out of the gym?

5. Why does Mr. Hyde ask Pudge to stay behind after class?

6. Why do the friends decide to study at McDonalds one day?

7. Who is Lara? Why is she different from the rest of the group?

8. How did Alaska get her own name?

9. In what way is it hard to predict how Alaska is going to behave?

10. How did she do when the friends were busted for smoking?

11. What was the Jury and how did it work?

12. Who fixed up Pudge's date with Lara? What did he feel about this?



Finally, if you have any time over continue working with the text from Context 1 (chapters 10,11 or 14)
Here are two ways of working:-

Texts 2

Next week we are going to work on the "Writing" ssection of the National Test.

However, I want you to continue reading " Looking for Alaska"-
