Notes Lost generation – young men who fought in WWI in which, though they were not killed, they ‘lost‘ their lives – the meaningfulness of life – in ‘The Sun Also Rises‘ (1926) ‘A Farewell to Arms‘ (1929) – a love story from WWI ‘Death in the Afternoon‘ (1932) – a non-fiction book about bullfighting ‘Green Hills of Africa‘ (1935) – a non-fiction book about his safari trip ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls‘ (1940) – a love story from the Spanish Civil War ‘The Old Man and the Sea‘ (1952) ‘A Moveable Feast‘ (1964, posthumous) – here the first mention of what the term ‘lost generation‘ means

Task 3: Read the excerpt below and – give it a title. ……. ……. ……. He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motor- boats, bought when the shark livers had brought much money, spoke of her as el mar which is masculine. They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought.

Především pak poskytuje možnost seznámit se v ukázkách se stylem psaní daného autora. Vybízí též k aktivní práci s textem ve formě překladu do češtiny a porovnání s uměleckým překladem či převedení do dnešní podoby angličtiny. Je užitečné, předchází-li jednotlivým aktivitám brainstorming – umožňuje ověřit, co žáci již znají, nabídnout, co mohou očekávat, podpořit kreativitu, soutěživost a týmovou práci. Obrázků lze využít nejen k ilustraci daného jevu, ale také k popisu a porovnání.
