English project work year 7 – English around the world

You have together with two other classmates spent almost three months in……………………. as exchange students participating in a global school exchange program.

Your classmates back home miss you and are wondering how you are doing and therefore your teacher has asked you to send a vlog/videoblog to your class telling them about your exchange experience.

What is the task?

*The task is to as a group produce a vlog/videoblog to your classmates back home

Include the following information in the videoblog:

* Basic facts about the English speaking country you are visiting:

- Where in the world is it situated? What is the name of the capital city? Approximately how many inhabitants does the country have? Why do they speak English as an official language in this country? What is the historical background?

* What have you seen so far of the country?

* Describe the school system in this country and mention something about the class you are in and how an ordinary school day is structured.

* Compare this country´s school system to the one in Sweden which you are used to.

* Mention something about you host family (=värdfamilj).

* Have you planned to do any travelling before returning to Sweden next month?

* What do you miss the most about Sweden and is there anything that you do not miss at all?

Where to search for information?

* Use the following two websites to gather information about the country you have been given and the education system in this country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

https://www.classbase.com/Countries

How to present the task?

You will work with the task in a group of three people and together you gather information you need for the videoblog. Together as a group as you also decide how to perform and present the videoblog as a group.

The videoblog is to be presented or ”performed” live in class infront of half of the class. You do not need to hand in a written manuscript but you will be asked to show your work during the weeks that we will be working with this task. The points mentiond above should be included in your videoblog but of course you are free to add and include other information as well. The videoblog or videoblog ”live performance” should be approximatley between 5-10 minutes long.

Since this is a oral task the focus is on oral production and interaction and that you try to speak as freely as you can with the help of keywords. You may have notes or ”speaking cards” but you should try to avoid reading word by word from a written manuscript.

You can include pictures and using a map or other things you might find helpful for your presentation.

 When to present the task?
