Presentations in class Schedule (Monday & Wednesday group)

Presentations in class Schedule (Tuesday & Thursday group)

Watch and summarize

I will assign this activity to those students who have not had the opportunity of presenting anything in class yet. You have to choose a short news video from the internet and tell us about it. Anything that you like that's not too long goes.

If you don't know where to go, visit BBC Words in the News or Lingohack. Choose a news event from there. You can pick whatever you want, as long as we haven't done the story in class yet.

1. You have to watch or listen to the story and tell us about it for about 3 or 4 minutes. Begin by thinking of the main ideas in just a few sentences.
2. Explain the news with your own words. Try to use some of the new vocabulary that you learned from the video. 
3. Provide the class with a short list of words necessary to understand the piece of news.
4. Those students who have not presented in class yet will have to tell us in the days assigned below.
