A PROJECT WITH OUR READING: "ALL ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA"

Hi guys!!!

I realize you have some problems in terms of reading a book on your own, that is the reason why we are going to face this reading in a different way. 

You are going to be divided in pairs and each couple has to focus on a different aspect of South African culture.


To complete the project, follow these steps:


1) Read the pages in your book related to the topic you have chosen.
2) Make a research on the Internet about it in order to grasp more relevant information about your topic.
3) Try to make an original presentation in class that impressed your classmates. For this presentation, you can use music, videos, your own presentation.
4) To conclude your presentation you must give your teacher a leaflet with a brief summary of the aspects you have described and a glossary which contains the new words and expressions you have learnt during this work.

TOPICS TO BE DEVELOPED ARE:

  • MANDELA YEARS: María Cuesta and Juan Manuel Fuentes
  • PEOPLE AND CULTURES OF SOUTH AFRICA: Ignacio García and Natalia García
  • BELIEFS, MYTHS AND LEGENDS:Jorge García and Yadira García
  • NATURAL WONDERS AND TOURIST ATTRACTIONS: Nicolas lozano and Raúl Gorrionero
  • NATURAL RESOURCES: Teresa Marcos and Pablo Juan Montero.
  • FOOD AND ART: Jorge Montero and Denisa Diana.
  • SPORTS AND SOUTH AFRICA TODAY: Fernando Rubio, Ana Vaquero, David Vicente.

To design this project you will be given four sessions and we will agree in classroom about our deadline.

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

I HAVE A PROBLEM....!!!!

Dear students,

I feel really dissappointed because I was planning to spend with my 3rd year students a week in England, walking around, speaking English, living in native host families, doing amazing outdoors activites, and just two people in the classroom want to have this adventure; however, if I plan an exchange to New York, They are delighted and they do not realize that it is quite expensive for them and their families....what should I do?? Could you give any suggestions?? I will be more than happy to hear them.

Thanks in advance dear students!!!

Ascen.
