Discovering Literature

A WebQuest for A2-B1 Students


Task

You will be divided into small groups of 2 or 3 students. Each group will be assigned one of the following literary works:

  • Edgar Allan Poe, Short Stories
  • Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
  • Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman
  • Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
  • George Orwell, Animal Farm
  • Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Surf the Internet to find as much information as possible on the literary work and the writer you have chosen. After this, present your findings orally to the rest of the class. Create a poster or a Power Point presentation to catch your classmates' attention and interest. Use your imagination, exploit pictures and videos you find on the web. You should convince everyone that your literary work is worth being read next September.
