Throughout the past academic year the English department at Myddelton College has forged and established strong and long-lasting links with the Morton East High School in Cicero Illinois, Lycee Saint Paul in Cambrai Northern France and the Gymnasium S.V Baymenova in Pokhvistnevo in the Samara Oblast region of Russia. Initially, this started as a project to try and create the modern-day equivalent of digital pen pals and some cultural exchanges through the Microsoft platform of Flipgrid. However, by the end of this academic year, it has become something much more enriching and profound and will have a lasting impact on the way we teach and educate at Myddelton College. This World Book Day our students’ shared book reviews on FlipGrid in our International Book Club:
The Knife Never Letting Go – Patrick Ness : Review by Tomas
“Hello, my name is Tomas and today I’m going to be doing a book review on The Knife Never Letting Go. This book holds a special place in my heart because it offered great detail, a great plot, and amazing characters that you’ll fall in love with. This book was fabulous. It didn’t let me down. It didn’t let my expectations down, and at first, I was like “right, another book I’ve got to read”. But once I read it, I couldn’t stop reading it. It’s amazing and then I went on to the next book, The Ask and the Answer, and then I’ve currently finished the last book, Monsters of Men. So I recommend this book to anyone. I mean, anyone who feels like they haven’t got anything to read or can’t find anything they like.”
