Final Exam Preparation - 1
Timelines are a very good way to summarize many stories. Without looking at The Inverted Eagle, try to remember the names of the main characters. Then look at this list of chapter titles:
1 -- The Scene of the Crime
2 -- Three Interviews
3 -- The Hospital
4 -- The Suspect
5 -- Family Secrets
6 -- The Arrest
From memory, try to make a timeline (or 7 timelines) of the main events in this story both BEFORE Ellie arrived (#0 = the events before the story started) and after she began to interview all of the suspects (#1 ~ #6). Write everything in English without checking your vocabulary or grammar. After you finish writing, proofread your work for missing or incorrect details, then check your vocabulary, grammar and spelling. Work with a partner: friendly competition will make your review more pleasurable and both of you will learn even more.

Cross-Sentence Game (Review for 'The Inverted Eagle)
Today we reviewed The Inverted Eagle by playing a Creative Commons licensed game: The Cross-Sentence Game. The object of the game was to accumulate points by creating sentences that refer to this story. The three teams played very well: you followed the rules and created useful sentences without repeating any content words, so nobody lost any points.
