By the way, for those who don't have the list and you need to find a book, you can always borrow from me. :D because i'm lazy to type out the books' names. And for the benefit of those who want the activities we can choose from, here it is:
- Write an alternative ending o a prologue to the story. Write about 200-250 words.
-a) comment on the ending of the book - do you think it had an apt ending? Explain your view.
b) write an alternative ending for the story (200-250 words)
-Imagine you are a character in the story. Write a series of diary entries to record your feelings and impressions of either i) 3 crucial incidents in the novel or ii) another character in the story, referring to at least 3 other incidents (Do not exceed 500 words)
-Pick a character in the story you would like to have as a friend. Explain why you like him or her saying what qualities you most admire in the person. Refer to specific incidents in the book (write about 300 words).
-Write an acrostic poem on either i) a main character in the story or ii) the plot/theme. Aim to make it entertaining, at the same time giving an accurate report to a would-be reader.
-Write a headlined news report on a significant incident in the story. Capture elements in the incident that would excite the interest of readers in the society as represented in the novel.
-Compose a montage/collage/comic strip/ storyboard o represent the main themes in the book. Write a commentary to accompany your composition, explaining the choice of illustration (Do not exceed 250 words)
-On a collection of short stories, pick your favourite 2 stories from the collection and comment on why they appeal to you particularly. Refer to any two elements in the stories which you think were handled in masterly fashion.
-Write a dramatised script for a major incident in the novel. Choose a scene, which is either a turning point in the plot, or a scene, which is particularly moving or revealing of the character(s) involved. Include stage/film directions.
-Do you think an adult might enjoy this book? Write to an adult (a friend or a relative of yours) explaining why you think the book might be a good read to him/her.
-As the editor to a new edition o the book, you have to make a decision on which sections you wish to leave out. Give reasons for your choice. Comment on how these cuts would affect the reading/meaning of the story.
-You are interviewing the author of your chosen book for a BBC World Service programme (Good Books or Meridian). Make a list of questions (about 5) you would ask him/her about the book. Based on what you know about the writer, i.e. some research done on his/her background, what do you think he might reply? Write a transcript of the likely interview.
-On the occasion of the anniversary of the author's death, write a literary review of your chosen book for Life! Newspaper
-Write a set of three poems as a response to the themes of the book or the experience of character(s) in the book. You may write from any perspective you choose.
