Under den kommande perioden ska vi i engelskan främst arbeta med att läsa, tala och skriva. Temat för perioden är: "Sports and hobbies". Du kommer att få läsa några texter som är förknippade med olika sporter och arbeta med dessa texter på olika sätt. Du kommer också att få välja en sport eller en hobby att fördjupa dig i, skriva om denna och därefter förmedla din kunskap muntligt för en grupp (muntlig framställning). Under perioden kommer du också ha small talk med Linda eller Sanna om sport och hobbys och om någon text du läst.

Genom undervisning i ämnet engelska ska eleverna sammanfattningsvis ges förutsättningar att utveckla sin förmåga att:

Genom att läsa några olika texter kring sporter, som du sedan ska samtala om på engelska (”small talk” med Linda eller Sanna), tränar du både läsförståelse och din förmåga att använda engelska i samtal. Genom att arbeta med ordförståelse utvecklar du ditt ordförråd med syftet att öka variationen i din egen kommunikation muntligt och skriftligt. Genom att ta reda på fakta om en sport eller en hobby, för att sedan berätta om denna muntligt och skriftligt, tränar du på att uttrycka dig i såväl tal som skrift på engelska.

Writing assignment and "Smalltalk"– week 41-42

You are going to choose a sport or hobby to present orally in front of your group.

The sport or hobby you choose should not be something you practice/do yourself, but something that you’re interested in and want to find out more about.

Create a mind-map before you start writing. Make sure to include the following in your presentation:

* Why you have chosen this particular sport/hobby?
* How and where the sport/hobby is practiced? (rules, arenas, equipment you need etc.) – Pictures are helpful to use here.
* Famous teams/players or people practicing the sport/hobby and some short facts about them.
* The history of the sport/hobby and how it has developed until now.
* The sport’s/hobby's role in Sweden compared to the rest of the world.
* Your own suggestions…

Hand in your mind-map and a summary of your work of maximum one page. We want your work no later than the 21st of October.

Prepare Oral Presentation week 43:

Create a keynote presentation with pictures and write down key-words on speech cards for your presentation. Practice a lot in front of a friend or someone in your family and take every good piece of advice you get. SEE “TALAMALLEN”! Use your own words and practice your pronunciation. Also practice difficult words and numbers.

The oral presentation should include the following:

* A beginning: “I have chosen to talk about… because…”

* The different items presented in the assignment above (why you have chosen this sport/hobby? How and where the sport is practiced? etc.)

* An ending: “To sum up… “Finally I would like to…” – questions or a quiz for your audience.

Try to speak as clearly as you can and have good eye contact with your audience. Be prepared to do your presentation in week 45. We will start the presentations on Wednesday the 9th of November.
