IX. Retell the whole story.
X. Introduction to elementary stylistic analysis
What language phenomenon is made use of in the passage where Hedgehog &
Tortoise were trying to confuse Painted Jaguar?
What makes the characters' speech so lively & expressive?
HOW THE FIRST LETTER WAS WRITTEN
I. Read the story in roles.
II. Bits for translation:
p.120 ("Once upon...")
p.132 ("By this time...")
III. Ask apropriate quiestions as if you were: a) the Mummy, b) the Stranger-
man.
IV. Comment on the paragraph on pp.132-133 considering the conclusion:
"Aren't those beautiful words"?
V. Reproduce the situations in which the following words & expressions are
used. Provide the latter with their Russian equivalents:
for short
to think hard
to stamp one's foot
to make faces
to make notice of smb.
to mean no harm
to be armed to the teeth
to make a fuss about smth.
VI. Retell the story as if you were: a) Teshumai, 2) one of the ladies.
VII. R.Kipling was a very observant person & a good psychologist - just reread
the passage on pp.126-127 with Taffy's comments on her drawings to make sure.
Now, let's play a game. One student occupies the teacher's table & starts drawing
a picture, making detailed comments on what s/he is doing. The rest should closely
follow him, so that they could depict the same without being able to see her/his
drawing. When it is finished, the group is to discuss in twos the discrepancies between
the "original" & their versions in order to finally nominate the best copy.
