Presentations, essays and other things

Today we start to prepare the second presentation you will do this term in front of the class.

Last time you talked about an English speaking country. This time the subject matter is a free choice.

You should work with another person or maximum three people in a group.

You should present an area of interest for you

(Examples might be a sport, a hobby, a game, an activity, an item from history, a person etc.)

The presentation should be of about 5 minutes and should be done using a presentation tool (Prezi, Impress, Powerpoint etc.)

There should be a worksheet with 5 questions (as last time) based on your presentation.

Every student will assess one presentation (a worksheet is available)

The presentations will be on Tuesday week 49 (next Tuesday) and Monday week 50

Today we are going to discuss your essay individually.

Some basic comments:

• Always have an introduction and a conclusion to your essay
• Always use paragraphs- one idea= one paragraph
• Written language is DIFFERENT from spoken language.

Your essay is assessed according to the following points:

Innehåll(content)

Tydlighet (clarity)

Fyllighet och variation (Completeness and clarity)

Sammanhang och struktur (Context and structure)

Anpassning till syfte, mottagare, situation, genre (adaptation to purpose, recipient, situation, genre)

Språk och Uttrycksförmåga (language and expression)

Kommunikativa strategier (language strategies)

Flyt och ledighet (Fluency and ease of expression)

Vokabulär (vocabulary)

Meningsbyggnad (sentence structure)

Grammatik (grammar)

Stavning och interpunktion (spelling & punctuation)
