Do you want to read another book for our classes?

If you have liked the experience of reading and talking in class about ANOTHER WORLD, here you have another proposal to do the same with another novel. It is not difficult and it can be a very good exercise.



If you want to do again this kind of exercise, please leave a comment in our blog showing your point of view. We´ll do it if there are four comments (as you are six students in class).
