Introduction

Your English teacher asked you to prepare an oral presentation on an original version film. After  this project , you´ll have learnt how....

 to prepare an oral presentation.

 to speak in front of an audience,

 to collaborate with your team,

 to improve your level of English

 to use the English language as a tool

 and  you´ll have visited a cinema where films are  projected in their  original version.

          

The Task

You study English  and you have to plan an oral presentation on a film,

                             

Work in groups of four:

1. A cinema expert  who loves watching different kind of films and who usually goes  to  the cinema at week-ends. 

2. A computer expert  who loves computers.

3. A  new student who just came from an English speaking country.

4. A coordinator who plans every step  and who makes sure everything is fine and keeps  your teacher  informed.

You and your three mates have to find a cinema where you can see films you three like, get your tickets on the internet, get together, go to the cinema, and prepare and present  your class your oral presentation.

In your oral presentation you have to include the following information about the film you saw :

STEP 1: Introduction of the group members and their roles in the project.

STEP2 : Present the film

                1. Technical Details.

                2. Synopsis.       (What happens in the film)

                    Description of the main characters and how they feel and react
                                            in the film. Plot. context .etc,etc

                3, Your opinion. Why you like or you don´t like this film.

                                             Anything especial about this film?

     STEP 3: The Process (How you made this ppt)

     Describe how you developped  this project. (Show photos)
     Explain the pros and cons you had to face in order to do this project.

      STEP 4: Your opinion about this project and what you think  you have learnt.

      STEP 5:  Your own evaluation.

   

Process

1. Form a group of four and assign each a role: the computer expert, the English   speaking person, the coordinator  and the cinema fan.   

2. Once you've picked a role to play, find a cinema where films can be seen in their   original version.       

3.Choose a film and find the cinema hours.        

4.Get together and go to the cinema.        

5.Fix a date to meet and start planning your presentation.     

6.Make your presentation. Be clear and use the right number of sound and image effects. (Remember that too many of them may not keep attention on content but on effects!)

       a. You can use presentation tools like

           Prezi          Glog        Movenote       Pecha Kutcha          

       b. Follow the STEPS to make an oral presentation. (In part 4)
