Presenting people

The presentation should include the "main content" of the lesson. It can take a variety of forms, and as the word suggests, this content is usually presented (by the teacher, who else)?

Why not elicit former knowledge as a kind of “student presentation”? Different techniques might help you do that. Let's see a common situation, describing people.

When you talk about people you often follow a train of thought like this:

1. outlook comes first (face, body, garments, special things)
2. personal issues (age, character, profession, background)
3. habits (likes and dislikes, activities, life-style)
4. your impression (“I think...” issues)

For getting most of the job done by your students, webquest might be a hand.
Define two very simple tasks:
1. Find photos of interesting people on the net (everybody loves searching photos of interesting people:-)

2. Create your gallery for these interesting people. Share your photos on any community site you use and add a few sentences introducing these people. Follow the above train of thought when you describe these people!
Share the link of your album with your mates.
