First Project - Summer Vacation pictures

Hi all!

The first project that I want you to complete this semester is to tell me about your summer vacation. I'm sure you all had a good time over the summer, but I would like you to tell me something that was particularly memorable. As an example of my own summer holiday, please look here:

The project will be worth 10 points of your overall score for this semester. This weeks lesson will be worth 3 points.

THIS WEEKS LESSON:

• We are going to think about our summer holiday and what we enjoyed the most. Here are some questions to focus on:

Where did you go?
Who with?
What did you do?
What was the best thing about your vacation?

• Talk to classmates about their summer vacation using the same questions as above:

Where did you go?
Who with?
What did you do?
What was the best thing about your vacation?

• Each time you have spoken to someone about your summer vacation, there will be a 2 minute break for you to think about and improve your story.


• Once you've spoken to three people, I want you to tell the members of your group about the best story you heard.


• Finally, I want you as a group to decide the best story to tell to the rest of the class.
