3. Oral Practice
Let’s listen to about the first books.
Pupil 1. The earliest books were written on tablets of wood. In Greece and Rome the tablets of wood were covered with wax, and writing was impressed upon them. These tablets were held together on one side with thin strips of leather or metal rings. In Assyria and Babylonia clay tablets were used for writing and the words were drawn with a piece of wood. After baking, the tablets were kept on shelves, just like books are kept today. The earliest books of the ancient world were written on papyrus and skins of young animals. The books were rolled from one cylinder to another.
Paper was invented in China in the 1st century. The secret of papermaking came to Europe much later.
Answer the questions:
What did people write on tablets of wood?
Where did people use clay tablets?
Where were the clay tablets kept?
Where can we see some tablets nowadays?
What did people use to write the earliest books?
Where and when was paper invented?
Let’s listen to about the first printed books.
Pupil 2. Printing went quickly over Europe and by the end of the 15th century there were more than 200 presses. The early printers were not only craftsmen, but also editors, publishers and booksellers. The first printing press in England was set up by William Caxton at Westminster in 1476. printed books soon reached a very high standard and craftsmen were rightfully proud of their work. Eventually there were more and more people in Europe who could read and they wanted more and more books. That led to opening more libraries.
