Today Ma’am talked about a famous Journalist, Italo Calvino. Italo Calvino (October 15, 1923 – September 19, 1985) was a renowned Italian fiction writer and one of the leading figures in 20th-century post-modern writing. After beginning his writing career as a politically-motivated realist, Calvino would go on to produce short yet elaborate novels that serve as investigations of reading, writing, and thinking itself.
Ma’am paired us in groups and told us to create a timeline of who Italo Calvino was and write it down on a newsprint paper. Each group was assigned different parts if the timeline, one group had to write down about the ideologies of Italo Calvino, we had to write the writing style of Italo Calvino. Our group started doing a lot of research related to the writing style of Calvino, we wrote down all the important points about his style and many different aspects that influenced him to write.
