Project A: Famous families

You are going to give a presentation on a famous family together with a classmate.

  1. Think of a famous family. They can be real (for example the Dutch royal family) or fictitious (for example The Simpsons). Don't tell your classmates which family you have chosen!
  2. Look for information on them, their lifestyle, their social environment (friends etc.) on the internet.
  3. Prepare a presentation of about two minutes, but make sure you do not mention the names of the famous people.
  4. Give the presentation in front of your class.
  5. Did your classmates guess which family you chose?

Variation: Tell the class which famous family the presentation is about and let pupils write questions about their own presentations for their classmates to answer.
OR let the classmates write down questions during the presentation for other classmates to answer.
