Summer talk/ Desert Island Discs (eng 5) ht-20

Your summer holiday has now passed and it’s time to make a new effort in school. Have you heard of the word summertalker (sommarpratarna)? If not, you will know the meaning of the word after this project. You have been chosen to be the school’s summertalker. You will plan and record a short program where you are the main character. The length of your talk should be approximately 5 minutes. The main goal is to capture the listeners’ interest – to entertain with a short selection of songs. Imagine that you are going to tell your story in the Swedish Radio programme Sommar i P1 (Summer in Channel 1) or select the English BBC version of "Desert Island discs" where you select eight tracks, a book and a luxury item: what would you take to a desert island?

Planning: This is what we will do: Listen, take notes, write and talk

Inspiration: Desert Island Discs Daniel Radcliffe - actor https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000gc48
