Author Visit at the Elementary School in English Classes 3 and 4
The Elementary School had a virtual author visit on June 10th, 2021 by Thomas Harding. British award-winning and bestselling author Thomas Harding is a journalist and former documentary maker. Mr. Harding has also written for the Financial Times, Sunday Times, the Washington Post, and the Guardian, among other publications.
Mr. Harding joined us via Zoom from England during our English classes, accompanied by representatives of the German Embassy, who had initiated this historical and cultural outreach event. The visit took place in form of a digital book presentation and book discussion about his children鈥檚 book 鈥淭he House by the Lake鈥.
