Project term 2

ORAL PART OF YOUR EXAM:  SECOND TERM.

PRODUCING A PODCAST:  THE  AUTOBIOGRAHY  OF A RELEVANT  PERSON IN 

HISTORY

The best podcasts will participate in a contest organised in the school!!!

The final product will be a (5 minutes approx.) podcast in which a relevant person in history talks about his/her life, or about some important aspects of it and his/her achievements. It should be a monologue emphasizing the human aspect of this person and trying to avoid a mere list of events/facts just copied from the Internet.

STEPS TO FOLLOW: 
1- Listen to the model example of podcast about “Santa Teresa” – which you can find in the blog-. This way you will have a clearer idea of what you are expected to do.

2- Choose a person you find interesting: a writer, a politician, an activist (Peace Nobel Prize, for example), ...etc. He/She should preferably come from an English speaking country in order to make your monologue in English more believable.

You might like to choose some  relevant people like:
-British historical figures:  Queen Victoria, Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Elizabeth II.
-Worldwide Icons:  Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King,  Rosa Parks, Florence Nightingale, Anna Frank, Frida Kahlo.
-Here are some writers you might find interesting:  Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Mary Shelley, J.K .Rowling, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde.

3- Do some serious research about the person you choose. Try to get and contrast information from different sources. Focus on the person’s human side: his/her personality, his/her family, important events...

4- Write your own script. Type your final version and send it to your teacher BEFORE 24TH FEBRUARY. Mention the sources you have taken the information from.

5- Select some background music which you can add to your recording. Make sure the music volume doesn’t interfere with your voice.
6- Read your text aloud. Pay careful attention to your pronunciation and intonation. Check the pronunciation of difficult words on the internet.

7- Rehearse reading your text as many times as you need to make it sound fluent and natural: You might find these tips useful:
    -underline the key words and phrases
    -decide where to breath / plan where you will pause
    - enunciate clearly
    - change the pitch and tone of your voice as appropriate
    -focus on dramatic pauses and emphasis
    -practise your reading in from of a friend
    - record your reading on your mobile phone and listen to it.

8- Use “Audacity” (audio editor) to record and edit your podcast.

9- Send the podcast and your final script to your teacher. DEADLINE TO MEET: 3rd of March 

ASSESSING YOUR WORK: 
The following aspects will be taken into account to assess your work:
-Content (Grammar accuracy / extensive vocabulary / organization of ideas)
-Pronunciation / intonation
-Technical aspects (quality of sound..etc)
-Originality / work


* IMPORTANT: No more than three students should record their podcasts about the same “person”. You will find a paper sheet on your class notice board: please write down your name and the “person” you have decided to create your podcast about.

As an alternative, you can write a project on one of the figures mentioned above. You will make a presentation in class, between 24th-27th February.
