In this project you will learn more about life, society and culture in an English-speaking country and you will practise how to search, choose and use information from the internet.
The project has three parts:
PART 1: Facts
Answer questions about Canada. Send in your answers on Unikum.
PART 2: Writing
Find information and write about a famous person
- Choose a famous person from the world of sports, music, film, literature, media or politics from Canada. Find out as much as possible about this person and where he/she comes from.
- Write a short biography about your person. In the introduction, say why you chose this person and why he/she is interesting. What is your relationship to this person?
- Use the information you have found but write in your own words. 250-600 words. Remember to mention your sources. Hand in your text on Unikum.
PART 3: Interviews
When you have finished researching and writing it is time to prepare an interview based on the questions from part 1.
- Make an interview with another “famous person” and be interviewed as the person you chose.
The interviews are to be filmed and handed in via Unikum. No longer than 5-10 minutes.
GET STARTED
First, search in the name of the person in a search engine on the internet. Then narrow your search and write for example the name of the person + biography.
Here are some things to write about:
- Early life
- Career
- Family and personal life
- Is there a celebrity in Sweden this person can be compared to?
- Most famous for…
- Personal image
- Where he/she comes from and what it’s like there
- Other things
