Instruction:
Your aim is to keep a reading journal that documents your - thoughts - feelings - opinions - experiences - interpretations - questions that appear while reading. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all you classify the book into three parts It is up to you and depends on the book whether you simply count the pages or orient yourself towards the different chapters of the book. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After every part that you read, note down
your thoughts and ideas about the plot, the characters, their relationships
events that you think are important
your own opinion
own experiences the story may remind you of
questions that appear
everything that remains unclear
facts that you like but also facts that you don’t like about the book
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your while-reading video you present the three reading-journal entries to your audience. Try to imagine you are telling a good friend or a family member what you have just read and how this feels like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be creative and focus on those thoughts that interest you most. Either you can read your entries out loud in front of the camera or you can try to speak naturally and only use your notes as guidance.
