Someone else on the forum had a similar idea in the thread, “Litterature in Cloze reading” but they only wanted to do excerpts.
Here is my idea, and I am wondering if it is possible, but I suspect that it cannot be executed exactly as I want it to be.
- Take a public domain work (e.g. Les Trois Mousquetaires, Alexandre Dumas).
- Create cloze completion lessons chapter by chapter (with translations included).
- Make it available for listening mode.
- The sentences are excluded from Review mode.
- Long winding sentences have to be broken down into shorter manageable chunks.
- The sentences have to be displayed in the correct order (not random order) so that you work are reading the entire work from beginning to end, sentence by sentence while doing cloze completion.
I tried doing Vingt Ans Après by Alexandre Dumas as an example, and what I immediately noticed in the first sentence is that the wording in the French version and English versions do not match exactly. The closest that I can get is by using the Cloze Reading mode, but it doesn’t match my vision exactly.
