Neuerungen in der Schulbibliothek 3/07 - E Spezialgebiete

aus LES, der Lehrer-Eltern-Schüler-Datenbank des Real- und Aufbaugymnasiums Hollabrunn

Vorschläge für Spezialgebiete im Fach Englisch

von Schulbibliothekarin Mag. Agnes Formanek

Wie ich letztes Mal schon berichtet habe, ist zur Zeit die Systematikgruppe Englisch zum Ordnen dran. Im Hinblick darauf, dass ich nächstes Schuljahr eine Maturaklasse haben werde (und auch die darauffolgenden Schuljahre), habe ich eine Liste zusammengestellt, welche Themen sich mit Büchern aus unserer Bibliothek anbieten würden. Sicher müsste man sich hier und da noch zusätzliche Lektüre besorgen, aber die Liste soll die Auswahl erleichtern und Ideen bringen. Ich erhebe keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Wem etwas auffällt, der möge es mir bitte unbedingt sagen!

Hier ist sie:
