Week 35 – 39 India
“East is East and West is West
and never the twain shall meet”
Rudyard Kipling, 1865 – 1936 born in India
• Warm up: What do you know about India?
• Group work - Short group speeches about topics related to India.
• The novel (Un)arranged marriage by Bali Rai
• Short story “Good Advice is Rarer than Rubies” by Salman Rushdie
• Just maybe: (Speech by Mohandas Gandhi, recorded in Kingsley Hall, London 1931. Giving a spiritual message to the world)
• Article: “India’s Lost Female Generation”
• Final assignment: I’m not clear on this yet, if you should do this or not, or even what it should be. You will soon find out.
As you see, there isn’t a movie in the plan. If there won’t be one in the final assignment, I promise that we’ll work with a movie when focusing on the next country.

Grade criteria
Hi!
If you check your e-mails then hopefully you will find the grade criteria to the presentations.
On friday you're going to begin the group work. You will also get the instructions on what to do with the novel "(Un)arranged Marriage". As you begin to read it, you're going to get question via the blog, do a reading log and afterwards there will be group discussions.
