Monday, 11th May

Good morning
How was your weekend? Did anybody do anything special?😈😛 Probably not. Never mind, at least this is a time we will never forget ...

-Today we will finish unit 6 with the writing section. The writing we will practise in this unit is "Informative Essay".

1. Open your Student's Book on page 84 and read the sample essay. (There is another example on page 171)

2. Think of an issue you may find interesting to write about. Here are some suggestions:
-You might like to write about something connected to technology, like Silicon Valley or  a successful company such as Facebook, Google or Instagram,..
-You might also be interested in the sharing economy, or a company within the sharing economy that has developed quickly.
-Or what about talking about Millenials or any movement connected to your generation, like "Fridays for Future" or any urban tribe you belong to or you know?
-You can also write about any NGO (charity) that you or members of your family support.

3. Obviously, the first thing we need to do in an informative essay is...get informed! First, do some research. Then, select the most important information and summarise it in no more than 200 hundred words.

4. Remember you need:
-introduction: What organisation am I talking about?
-body: main facts (how it began, its history, achievements, what makes it special...
-closing: Summarise the main points and make a personal comment.

5. When do you have to hand it in? Wednesday 13th May.
    Type your essay!


Thursday, 7 May 2020

Project Term 2: A Podcast


ORAL PART OF YOUR EXAM: SECOND TERM
PRODUCING A PODCAST

The best podcasts will participate in a contest organised in the school!!!
 THE AUTOBIOGRAHY OF A RELEVANT PERSON IN HISTORY
The final product will be a (5 minutes approx.) podcast in which a relevant person in history talks about his/her life, or about some important aspects of it and his/her achievements. It should be a monologue emphasizing the human aspect of this person and trying to avoid a mere list of events/facts just copied from the Internet.
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
1- Listen to the model example of podcast about “Santa Teresa” – which you can find in the blog-. This way you will have a clearer idea of what you are expected to do.
2- Choose a person you find interesting: a writer, a politician, an activist (Nobel Peace Prize, for example), ...etc. He/She should preferably come from an English speaking country in order to make your monologue in English more believable.
You might like to choose some relevant people like:
British historical figures: Guy Fawkes, Queen Victoria, Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II.
Worldwide Icons: Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, Florence Nightingale, Anna Frank.
Here are some writers you might find interesting: Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Mary Shelley, Emily Dickinson, J.K .Rowling, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, Aldous Huxley.
3- Do some serious research about the person you choose. Try to get and contrast information from different sources. Focus on the person’s human side: his/her personality, his/her family, important events, hardships, obstacles overcome...
4- Write your own script. Type your final version and send it to your teacher BEFORE 17TH FEBRUARY. Mention the sources you have taken the information from.
5- Select some background music which you can add to your recording. Make sure the music volume doesn’t interfere with your voice.
6- Read your text aloud. Pay careful attention to your pronunciation and intonation. Check the pronunciation of difficult words on the internet.
7- Rehearse reading your text as many times as you need to make it sound fluent and natural: You might find these tips useful:
-underline the key words and phrases
-decide where to breathe / plan where you will pause
- enunciate clearly
- change the pitch and tone of your voice as appropriate
-focus on dramatic pauses and emphasis
-practise your reading in from of a friend
- record your reading on your mobile phone and listen to it.
8- Use “Audacity” (audio editor) to record and edit your podcast.
9- Send the podcast and your final script to your teacher.
DEADLINE TO MEET: 3rd of March


ASSESSING YOUR WORK:
The following aspects will be taken into account to assess your work:
-Content (Grammar accuracy / extensive vocabulary / organization of ideas)
-Pronunciation / intonation   (Very important!!!!!)
-Technical aspects (quality of sound..etc)
-Originality / work


* IMPORTANT: No more than three students should record their podcasts about the same “person”. You will find a paper sheet on your class notice board: please write down your name and the figure you have decided to create your podcast about. 
Do not leave your work for the very last minute!!!

Good luck!!
