During this school term, you have read the story "3.14750ºN 101.69333ºE, A destination or a new beginning?". 

Now it’s time for you to:

2. Write your own book review about it. You can get some inspiration on your coursebook. Don’t forget to mention your ending choice!
3. Do you remember where the plot takes place? Do a Google search and find out which place these coordinates correspond to: 3.14750ºN 101.69333ºE.

FEEDBACK ON YOUR SWAY PRESENTATIONS

Your SWAY presentations are visually appealing and the majority of them have met all my requirements.

At the end, I guess you enjoyed reading this short story and I quite appreciated your research on Malaysia and on Pandawas Academy. You have used some inspiring photos about that country.

However, next time, I would like you to be more self conscious in using copyright-free photos! 

Overall - excellent work!
