The One with the Murakami Presentation

For Friday, 10.11.17, I had a special task in my Estonian class. We read a book, Murakami's "Elephant Vanishes"

I made the introduction to the book by making a presentation about the author, Haruki Murakami. Teacher Jana Kübar gave me this task because she thought I was interested in Murakami, which is true. She had seen me at a presentation given about Murakami in Rahva Raamat bookshop earlier this school year. I was also one of the students who convinced the teacher about reading Murakami in class in the first place. 
 I read about his life, where he was born, how he open his own jazz bar, how he started to write and what are some of his most important works. I presented the information I found using Google slides, talking in front of the class. 
I hope that I could teach my classmates something new and maybe even spark some interest about Haruki Murakami in them. Also, I myself learned quite many new information and I really enjoyed the whole project, as I am quite interested in Murakami's books and literature in general.
