This
year in October 3ème
students read Ellen Mac
Arthur's logbook about
her crossing in the Vendée
Globe.
Then they were asked to
write Nicolas Vanier's
logbook about his Siberian
Odyssey (December 2005
to March 2006). They had
to imagine they were Nicolas
Vanier so the narrative
used "I".
They had to write a lively
narrative using useful
information, making comments
on the expedition, the
weather conditions, the
10 brave dogs, the hard
blows, the meetings, the
environmenal project...
They had to use both preterit
and present perfect.
Logbook definition :
A
logbook is a book in which
each entry usually contains
the time and date, weather
conditions, boat speed
and course, position and
other information and
observations.
