LITERATURE MEMORIES
The brain is an amazing organ. No computer designed by man can beat it. You have so many memories stored within your brain. What you need to do for this exercise is call back some of your literature memories. All those stories you have ever heard or read need to be recalled. See how good your memory is by listing books, characters or authors you know.

READING AND VIEWING
Let’s see if you can use your powers of observation and put your opinion on the line.
In order to do this you will need to collect some book reviews (movie reviews will also help) from magazines and newspapers. Discuss within your group what a book review is and how you would go about making one of your favourite book. Decide what method you plan to use to evaluate your book - what scale (1 to 4?) and what symbol (**?)
Now that you have all the necessary information at your fingertips, JUST DO IT.
