Hi
I've just started teaching George Orwell's Animal farm to a 16-year-old who has never read literature before. That's why he needs private tutorials in order to get his IB.
As i am Greek and i teach English as a foreign language, my work had always been based on Coursebooks and Grammarbooks(too technical...),so it's the first time I have used a whole literary book in one of my classes (instead of using exceprts). It's a bit more difficult, but much more challenging!!!
Anyway, if you have any ideas, tips on teaching Animal Farm or literature in general, or anything that could take a little of the stress away, I'd be thankful!
(by the way, I also don't know how to post threads, so if you see anything foolish, please ignore it...)
Thanks
