A mini presentation of an English-speaking country

Thanks for your blogs. I hope you had fun doing them!

Today we will prepare for our first oral presentation.

Several groups mentioned this in their suggestions for the course.

You will be given an English-speaking country in groups of three.

I want you to give some very basic information about the country-

location, population, kind of government, head of state etc.

Then, according to the curriculum ( see below)

Kommunikationens innehåll
Samhällsfrågor, kulturella, historiska, politiska och sociala förhållanden
Eleven diskuterar översiktligt några företeelser i olika sammanhang och delar av världen där engelska används, och kan då också göra enkla jämförelser med egna erfarenheter och kunskaper

.......... choose one aspect of life and compare it with the way things are in Sweden

Some examples of possible areas of study are:-

 policing, school system (or aspect of it), national feast days, traditional dances, traditional food culture, political system (some aspect),  traditional music, "national" sport   etc.

You will have the whole of the lesson today, homework time this week plus 15 minutes on Friday.

The presentations should not be longer than 5 minutes each.

They will be filmed.

Each person will be graded for their individual part in the presentation and then the group will receive a grade for the entire content.

We will also be using peer grading

Use the document on the blog (I will give you paper copies)

Grade the presentation after yours... The last group grades the first!
