Assignment one: the website
Project English speaking Countries CE
Part one: Website
Your teacher will devide you in groups of 2 or 3. In total we’ll get 10 groups and each group will get one of these subjects (all countries, regions or capitals):
England Wales Scotland
Ireland (incl. North Ireland) USA Canada
Australia New Zealand New York
London
If we find ourselves with more groups, we have these extra subjects:
India South Africa
Guyana & Belize Trinidad and Tobago & Malta
Jamaica & Bahamas
* We are well aware that one subject seems easier to you than the other, but keep in mind that it’s easier to come with new information and fresh ideas on a less well-known country than , for instance, on the USA.
About that “country” , you’ll make a website for pupils all over the world from the ages 12 to 16. In English ofcourse.
Your website needs to include at least the folowing:
- - general introduction on the country
- - some history (make a selection!!!!)
- - some information about politics/government and education
- - a list of famous/important people with a short description (give links to a good website where people can find more information)
- - information about music (incl. the national anthem) (traditional & modern)
- - information about media (TV programmes / newspapers / radio stations etc.)
- - information about language (+ accent + other languages spoken?)
- - you need to include at least on subject extra of your own choice (for example: sports, films, special days/holidays, food, geography, money, daily life, weather, traditions, legends), but you are allowed to add between 1 and 5 extra pages.
- - You need to have at least one video on your website and at least 3 links to other pages.
- - Source list
Don’t forget to take a look at the rubric (standard for evaluation) for websites.
