Cassette 5A

Sum up on your own what happens on cassette 5A (notes!). 
The following questions can help you (but don´t just answer them!):

- What person/place is associated to the chapter?

- How has Hannah been hurt?

- How has she tried to deal with the situation?

- What are Clay´s reactions/how is he feeling?

Do't forget the rules for writing a summary (e.g. present tense, no qoutes, no own comment...)

Cassette 3A: What has Courtney done to upset Hannah?

Homework / EVA for Tuesday:

Cassette 3A:  What has Courtney done to upset Hannah?

1) Take notes on what happened in this chapter. The following questions might help you:

a. What person/place is associated to the chapter?

b. How was Hannah exposed or hurt?

c. How did she try to deal with this situation?

d. What is her message (if there is one)?

e. What did Clay observe at the time? How did he feel for Hannah then?

Enjoy your weekend and thanks a million for all the help yesterday.
