June 10th lesson

Dear students,
Today you will have a student-led activity and after that you will take a mid-term test. This is a written test and will have a time limit of seventy minutes. You should choose one topic from below:

a) Frankenstein
b) Harry Potter
c) A nation of the 2019 Rugby World Cup

After you have chosen your topic you should decide your main idea about it. For example, why it is popular, what is interesting about it, why you like it. Ideally this should be framed by your sub-topics (a, b, c).

1) You should draw a concept map including details and examples.
2) Draw rough sketches of your slides.
3) Cite your sources. (Where did you search for your information?)
4) Make notes for your speech.
5) Express your opinion on the topic (critical thinking).

After you have finished the test, please answer the social issues questionnaire below and submit it. If you can’t finish in class time, please do so for homework as we will be using the data next lesson.

Social Issues

Kind regards,
Chris Elvin

Dear students, Today, students who could not have time to present last week will deliver their mid-term presentations. After that, you will participate in a class online survey about social issues. There are thirty-eight questions in the survey. After you have finished, view the responses spreadsheet, choose one of the questions with your partner and make a graph of the results. Interview each student about why she answered "agree" or "disagree". Then make a presentation, which should include a graph, and explanations of the opinions of the students in the class. This presentation should be group to group, so you can practice presenting many times. (You will need to download a graph software application, such as "Graph" in order to make your digital chart).

Your speech should be new, interesting, well-researched, contain elements of critical thinking, and you should speak for at least three minutes, have clear, well-organized slides, and use English correctly.
