Dear Mr. Mohanad Hazim,

I am writing to informing you that I read an interesting book.

It is Colin C. Irvine (2008) Teaching the Novel across the Curriculum A Handbook for Educators. First published in 2008 by Greenwood Press.

I think that book gives you all answer how to teaching a novel.

I hope I have been of some help.

Best,

Andrija

Interactive methods or the use of film and power-point would not bring out Lawrence's amazing sensitivity and approach to psychology.

I learned how to write Spanish in Barcelona thanks to my last term's Argentinian teacher. We were 40 students and maybe 30 nationalities in class. Most of them had economical-business purposes. I was the only one that wanted to write in Spanish. So Marta decided the whole term will be around a Garcia Marquez's book of short stories. And she taught me all what she knew about writing in Spanish. It was so fascinating and instructive that nobody of the other 38 students noticed a thing, but a Chinese illegal immigrant women that went through hell and was the most hard-working student. "She does the course just for you. We're lucky".
