Imagine
you are a reporter for the "National Geographic";
a magazine which explores interesting places all over
the world. The magazine wants to print an article about
California, an interesting guide to the country and lifestyle
of this American state. The whole class collects information
about California, each team has a different sub topic
(see below).
After
your research (internet) you inform your classmates about
what you found out. You can present your results as collages,
power point presentations, role plays. Any other ideas
are welcome!
Time for each presentation: ca. 8 minutes. While you are
working on your group topic each team summarizes the most
important facts on 3-5 pages (use WinWord).
Try
to make it interesting, use pictures, etc. These handouts
will be copied for everybody. In the end you will have
a complete tour guide.
Try to get into your role as an American journalist, so
talk in English during the group work.
