PHOTOSTORY

INTRODUCTION  

Your classmates think that this year the student book is really boring. ‘Photostory’ characters aren’t attractive and the stories aren’t funny. It is dead boring!

You tell it to your teacher and you decide you can do it better. Now you are designing your ‘Photostory’. To do that, you have to imagine new stories that you have to narrate with dialogues and photos.

The main characters are teenagers like you and your story is about a group of teenagers that are living a funny or curious situation.

You are creating your own English book! Other students can learn English with your stories!

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE

                            

MINI PROJECT 3 ESO

INTRODUCTION

            Everybody loves movies, but not everybody share the same tastes. So, we are going to learn about what movies our classmates like. We will learn vocabulary and expressions related to the cinema and, also, we will practice speaking in English.

Use your imagination...                                  LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES

TASKS

            After doing some activities, you will have to prepare an oral presentation (between five and ten minutes) about your favourite movie with some visual aid (it can be a power point, a poster or photocopy to hand out).

TASK 1

-        Form couples and decide what movie you are going to present.

-        Do the activities that the teacher will give you to learn vocabulary and structures.

-        Do some research about the movie: facts, plot, pictures...

-        Prepare two paragraphs: you can divide your work but remember to revise together everything.

-        The movie

-        An introduction of a person related to the movie: an actor, actress, the director, the composer of the soundtrack...

            At the end of this part you must hand in these texts to you teacher for correction. Present it in a neat formal way.

TASK 2

            You have to present in front of your classroom the texts you have prepare.

-        Prepare the supporting material (power point, poster, photocopies).

-        Decide who is going to present what part and practice pronunciation.

-        Present your work in front of the classroom.

            Remember that you will be assessed both regading content and performance (lo que dices, cómo lo dices y cómo lo presentas).To make your presentation more interesting and funny, you can add different things, like the performance of a scene or dialogue, disguises, gadgets...

You can click this links to read the instructions about the PROCESS and ASSESSMENT, and you can also download the ACTIVITIES page.
