Week 5 Task 2, 3

 Task 2
  Really, the plan of the lesson is amazing. it gives so many ideas  for using  wonderful tools for reading, showing the details of the novel( fairy-tale) story, poem... it is also interesting for text- analyzing and  expressing one's own attitude to the  piece of Literature.
 I would choose Robin Hood stories.
