Language structures, vocabulary, ICT tools, knowledge of the different theme countries etc. In this biteslide presentation they can choose to go for one of the theme countries or they can pick their own. After all the lessons they will know how to go about this task. They have to make an account on the website and then choose a topic: for example - gender inequality or race inequality or another theme ?discussed in the previous lessons. choose a country in which this is a problem. This can be their own country, one of the four countries they have studied or another country.?Find a video that shows the inequality they’ve chosen in the country of their choice.? They upload the video to biteslide They write a message between 50-75 words explaining how the people in the video are trapped in poverty They can make notes how the povertycycle can be brokenThey use the notes to make a videomessage in which they tell how the poverty cycle can be broken. They make a video of about 2-3 minutes and they upload this to the biteslide page.How do you want them to go about the task?Our 3TL students have 3 English classes of 50 minutes every week. We have made a schedule including two options. So they have to pick one. However we do want them to start with the introduction lesson because this gives them an idea what the whole curriculum is about. At the end, they have to do lesson 18, making a link to their own country. This can only be done at the end because then they will have all the input to look at their own country in a much broader perspective.
