English 09C: Wednesday 14.10-15.10

Hello!
I am sick at home today and am not sure who my sub teacher will be. Since I cannot listen to your presentations, you will start on your next project, English speaking countries. This schoolyear, you will study my favourite English speaking countries, the British Isles.

Here are your groups and what you will be working on (I drew lots):

Jon, Algot, Wilja, Mohamud - Northern Ireland
Livia, Tindra, Cornelia, Alicia - Scotland
Isabelle PH, Sigrid, Wilhelm - England
Maid, Arman, Elias - The Commonwealth (you will get different instructions on Teams)
Isabelle LJ, Zelda, Emilia - Queen Elizabeth II (you will get different instructions on Teams)
Wassim, Eldit, Belinay, Elona - Wales
Hedda, Hugo, Axel, Adam - The Republic of Ireland

First, you are going to watch this video: The British Isles - YouTube

Prepare an oral presentations about an English speaking country

            1. Open a new PowerPoint presentation. Share it with your group and teacher. Make sure everyone can edit.

            2. Choose information in English from the internet. For countries, my advice is that you to do a search on the English name of the country. "Scotland" for example. Click on the English wikipedia page about the country. Then choose information from the long sqaure to the right. You can also copy and use images from that square in your PowerPoint presentation.

            3. Write down key words in your PowerPoint slides about:

-          where the country is situated,  

-      how big it is,

-          population and density,

-          information about the capital,

-         languages,

-          government and head of state,

-          other information that you find important or interesting (sports, music, movies, history etc.)

3. Compare your country to Sweden (what is different/similar?)

4. Choose pictures to go with the information in your PowerPoint presentation.

5. Choose a short video about the country (1-2 min.) to show the class.

6. Practice and let me know when you feel ready for your presentation (speak for 2 min. each)

7. Present your work!

Have fun! :)
