We are going to work in a different way in this unit. We will work in pairs, each pair is going to look for information about a specific part of the Unit, both students will search in the net or in books and will prepare a PPT about it and then they will explain what they have learned to the rest of their classmates.
The PPT must be done following these instructions:
- The first slide has to include the title, the authors, the group they belong to and the date.
- The presentation has 2 slides for each point, no more.
- They have to include maps or photographs, links, videos…
- It is forbidden to copy and paste from the Internet.
- The book is only a reference, it is not the only source of information.
Here you are the scheme of the Unit about The European Union. It can be very helpful to know what information you should include in your PPT. The teacher will explain which pair has to work which part.
