Country Project

Today we are going to start a short intensive project about an English speaking Country.

Here are the instructions:

Presentation of an English-Speaking Country:

In your groups of three:

Prepare a presentation which helps your fellow students understand and get to know an English speaking country by looking for interesting facts about the language, history, geography, culture (e.g. food, music, lifestyle), fauna, population, political system, or any other interesting aspect of your particular country. Try to approach your task by focusing on aspects that would be interesting to you if you were to visit the country you study. You should also focus on comparing your country to Sweden.

Use the worksheet to help you!

All the material used by you should be in English!

In your presentation you direct yourselves to your fellow students, NOT to me:

Example of dialect

Nice graphics of nature, art, typical features of your country (e.g. Australia: picture of boomerang)

Poetry, fiction

Interesting sites

Make some 1/x/2-questions for the rest of the group to answer.

 Hand in to me the day prior to the presentation.

Make a personal wordlist of 25 words from the material that you have worked with, only fill in the first English and Swedish column.

When listening to the other groups’ presentations:

Activate yourself by thinking of questions to ask which might interest the rest of the audience or you. If you know about the country in question, share your knowledge with the rest of the group. 

 Tomorrow we will make a break to work on the first 5 chapters of "The Boy in the striped pyjamas"

We will also being receiving a visit from a same gender couple who are friends of Ingela (the English teacher).

As a continuation of the gender issue we shall be looking at the film "Billy Elliot" in week 43.
