Project work, English. SP10, Spring 2011
Theme: English-speaking countries
1. Form groups (1-4 people in each) and choose a subject. This can be just about anything as long as it fits the theme. Examples: Australian wildlife, English cooking etc..
2. Try to structure your essay before you do anything else! Make sure that you also write down the aim or your study. This gives you the advantage of actually knowing what you are looking for before the search for information begins.
3. Gather material. Use any sources available, i.e. the library, the Internet, magazines etc..
4. Extract information from your material and start writing. The text (when finished) should be about 2 pages long (not including front page, summary, table of contents & sources) per person in the group. Quality over quantity, though…. This does not include pictures, drawings etc. you want to use. In addition to this, you need a first page with the title of your project and your name(s) on it, a summary (p. 2), a table of contents (p. 3), and a page (the last one) where you list all your sources.
5. Think about how you want to present your work to the rest of (or parts of) the class when you’re finished. You've got a choice here, make the most of it!
6. Deadline: Final version to be presented beginning on Friday, week 5.
Have fun, and remember to ask if you have questions.
