The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in Poland

 

In October we worked on the novel by an American writer, Mark Twain: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". We listened to fragments of the book read by Irena Kwiatkowska (a famous Polish actress). The pupils also told the story in their own words. Next they matched names with main character traits. Then the children worked in groups - they were looking for right answers to questions about the book. The last task in the Polish language was to design and make a board game about the adventures of Tom.

At the same time the 6th graders had classes in the English language where they listened to simplified fragments of the book (in English). Then we focused our attention on the chapter in which there's a trial at the court and we solved various tasks in English in order to practice vocabulary related to crime and punishment. The series of meetings is going to end in November when we are planning to organise a field game - looking for treasure.
