Activities on International Book Day and trip to Madrid

Good afternoon, I keep to my promises ....so here you are the pictures which show what we did to celebrate 23 April (International Book Day) and the pictures displaying our trip to Madrid on 28 April to watch a theatre play in English ("The Taming of the Shrew") and our strolling  around The Madrid de los Austrias main monuments and buildings.

Concerning 23 April we placed a box for the students to vote on their favourite piece of book in English.
There were five posters with fragments from each of the books:

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman  by Laurence Sterne

The Unameable by Samuel Beckett

Crabbed Age and Youth (Sonnet) by William Shakespeare

The Looking Glass War by John Le Carré

Gravity´s Rainbow  by Thomas Pynchon

And the winner was...The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, I think this was due to Laurence´s fine sense of humour (and indeed, it is also my favourite book of all, though I like all of them, for sure :)  )

The second place was for Crabbed Age and Youth

The third place was for The Unameable

And the fourth place was for both Gravity´s Rainbow and The Looking Glass War

Well , all of them should have been winners, but our favourite was the first one.

Thanks to all the students who voted and we hope to carry out this activity next year.

And now the pictures...

Bye for now.
