This first task for English class is going to be a Speaking Task.
You are going to give a presentation about yourself, talk about 2 photographs, and last but not least discuss a topic of your choice. You are going to record this presentation on film. That sounds quite easy, doesn't it?
The only rules are that the presentation has to be in English, lasts 5 to 8 minutes, and has to be about you personally. To help you out we've written out the 3 different tasks which should be in your video
Preparation (voorbereiding):
You must prepare for the video assignment by printing/selecting 2 photographs or pictures to talk about. You show these (printed) photos to your audience/viewers in your video. Make sure you show the pictures to your English expert (teacher) before you start recording your video in case they are not suitable.
Also, you select a topic you would like to tell your audience more about. This could be a news item, a novel you've read, a series you can't stop watching, your favourite food or recipe, your sport/hobby, etc.
Content (video inhoud):
Task 1 – introduce yourself (maximum 1,5 minutes)
You will introduce yourself briefly (name, age, family, hobbies).
Task 2 – photo exercise (maximum 2,5 minutes)
You will talk about the two different pictures you have selected. Be prepared to say, for example, who is in the picture, why you chose it, where it is, and so on. Make sure your viewers can see the pictures clearly! Edit them into your video or clearly show them on camera.
Task 3 – topic of your choice (maximum 3 minutes)
You are going to talk about a subject of your choice. You could, for instance, talk about one of your hobbies more elaborately (music, sports, your favourite series/film etc.), something that interest you a lot (culture, science, geography etc.), or even just about yourself and you goals in life: What are your qualities? What have you done in the last couple of years and what are your plans for the next couple of years?
Additional information (aanvullende informatie):
To support your presentation, you could design a PowerPoint or Prezi. If you’re even more creative you can decide to present yourself in a different way, but discuss this with your English expert before you continue. Remember that a good presentation always starts with an introduction and ends with a summary or conclusion.
In class you get the opportunity to prepare for your presentation. During one of the classes we’re going to provide each other with feedback. That is why we’re going to discuss the rules of feedback in class. How do you give someone a top? How do you give someone a tip? You are going to alter your presentation afterwards using the feedback you’ve received from a peer.
Your task is to film your presentation. Make sure your camera has the proper settings (good vision and proper sound) to record your presentation, also make sure I can see you on screen (don't record just your voice over a screen-cast).
You hand in the film clip via Microsoft Teams 'opdrachten' and will receive feedback form your peers and English expert.
This video is a good preparation for your first PT-test.
