Hi everyone!
I guess you're having a nice week, aren't you? I know that this course is being full of study hours and gropuwork, and it is for that reason why
I'd like you to take a break and enjoy this subject. We are going to
work on a project for about 3 weeks, with no stress... there's no hurry! I want you to guess
the countries where English language is sopken, characteristics, summary, interesting facts about it... Together with it, I want you to know how to use a tool that is going to be very useful for you at university:
Prezi presentations. This project is going
to be done in groups. Why? because I trust you and I know that you wrok better with partners and friends, instead of with the whole class. Below you have the instructions, tools and tutorials that you need in order to create your presentation:
But before... a Prezi presentation looks like this one (taken from Prezi's website)
PREZI PRESENTATION PROJECT: ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD
GUIDELINES:
1. Visit
Prezi and click on
"prueba prezi"
2. On your right you have an option that says "continuar gratis". Click on it. This option allows us to create prezi presentations under certain conditions: one of them is that our prezis are going to be public.
3. Create an account, Provide the email adress of one member of the group and share the password for you to be able to acess anywhere.
4. Once you are in, you can start creating your prezi presentation (nuevo prezi)
Once you are ready to create your Prezi, here you have the information that you need to include on it:
- A title, for example ""English language in the world"
- The countries where English is spoken (at least 4 countries)
- A few lines about each country (where is it, population, culture, peoples...)
- Pictures of the most interesting places of each country
-
Interesting facts (for example, "British people have the highest obesity rate of the European Union")
Here you have some tutorials on how to create a good Prezi presentation.
And just in case you need extra support, here you have a longer tutorial (around 9 minutes) on how to create a prezi presentation (SPANISH) "Como hacer una presentacion Prezi (Bien explicado)"
This activity is going to be evaluated according to the following
rubric. Make sure you cover all the requirements in order to get a high grade. Good luck!!
