Rabbit-Proof Fence
My reading log
Reading a book means – first of all – having fun reading it.
Reading offers you insights into another world, a new, strange, unknown, unusual world
that the author presents to the reader.
Reading also means learning new words and/or enlarging the amount of vocabulary that
you can use actively.
Keeping a reading log is an active encounter with a book on different levels using
different skills.
This reading log is about the novel ‘Rabbit-Proof-Fence’ by Doris Pilkington Garimara.
There are compulsory tasks and optional tasks. You have to work out every compulsory
task. They are a “must”. While reading you’ll get more worksheets or exercises to do for
each chapter. From time to time you will also be given optional tasks. Optional tasks can
be done. Of course they can improve your mark.
It might be quite a good idea to use an extra folder for the reading log. This folder will
only contain things that have to do with our novel and and your personal approach to the
story, which means your texts, your pictures, your models ……
While reading and after having finished reading the novel and watching the film, you’ll
hand in the reading log and some of your products will be graded. So it is important
always to be up to date and to work carefully and well organized.
And last but not least, the next written test will be based on at least one of the
chapters of the book and you will probably have to summarize it, characterize a person
and/or comment on something.
So you’d better work carefully and eagerly.
And now: Have fun with the book!
