Activity Introduction
Not that long ago, it was hard to imagine how much a virus could change our lives. But have you ever thought about how coronavirus might have changed the storylines of your favourite novels or movies? In this activity you’ll see some descriptions of classic novels changed for the time of coronavirus. Then, you’ll write your own.
