Fiction In Action : Whodunit
After our midterm, we will be reading the first story in Fiction In Action : Whodunit, a free-to-share textbook. This book has a Creative Commons license. This means:
1] You can download this book (click on "Download now"), make copies of it and share it with your friends,
BUT
2] you must keep the writers' names on the book (you cannot say that you wrote this book!)
AND
3] you cannot sell it
OR
4] change it
You can learn more about Creative Commons in English, in Standard Chinese or, just for fun, (very briefly) in Bân-lâm-gú (romanized Minnan Dialect 閩南語).
Whodunit is not completely "free," but you can read it first without paying. If you like it, please go back to the download page in January. Use Google Checkout to give the writers some money.
You can pay whenever you want to and you can pay a little ($1~$2) or a bit more ($10~$20). It's up to you. Please encourage the authors.
Your homework is to read and think about Chapter 1 of The Inverted Eagle (pages 4~17) for the main idea. Don't use your dictionary to look up every word. First, just enjoy the story.
