200th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice

200  years ago, Jane Austen's novel  Pride & Prejudice was published. I also want to join the celebration with some interesting links:

• A powerpoint presentation to talk about the novel in class. (2003 version)
• The book, at Project Gutenberg.
• An interesting post at Marmaria English Corner.
• BBC News report.

It is a very good opportunity to discover or re-read one of the most beloved English novels.

Celebrities' Biographies

Sometimes, it is very rewarding to use a celebrity's biography to motivate our students. At  www.bio.com    we have texts and videos that summarise these biographies. The videos have no subtitles, but they are short and have pictures that help a lot.
