Learning activity 4

Evidence: My presentation outline

A. Find a topic of personal interest. Imagine you are going to present that topic
orally to your teacher and classmates at school. For this part of the evidence
you need to carry out exhaustive research in order to be able to present all the
necessary information related to your selected topic. Report the most important
aspects of your research through a brainstorm of the ideas and concepts that
you think will be relevant to the presentation.

Brainstorm

Example of topic: Aviation.

 Aviation refers to the use of commercial and non-commercial aircrafts

for transportation of people or goods.

 The A380, manufactured by the Airbus Industry, is the biggest plane

ever made.

Brainstorm

Topic:

MEDICINAL PLANTS

At present we will speak of a specific plant class, which has multiple benefits for
the organism; This type of plant does not originate everywhere, it tends to believe
in zones according to its evolutionary process.

Turmeric long, medicinal plant with a number of benefits for adults and young
people, acts according to their need and can be found in different presentations.

B. Now, structure your presentation using the Signpost language learnt during this
learning activity. Present your outline through presentation cards. Use as many
cards as you need.
Remember: Each presentation card should include a heading,
a phrase at the bottom, a number and it should be organized
by numbering and bulleting.

 TURMERIC

STRUCTURE: Next, we will have several sections on the exposed subject.

1. Origin.
2. Definition.
3. Climate and Collection.
4. Importers and Exporters.
5. Products.
The following will show the activities of exposing the product

MEDICINAL PLANTS
"Turmeric"
Origin: This research based plant originated in western India and its first use
dates back to 2500 years.

The word turmeric comes from the Arabic kourkoum (saffron), since it was
believed to be a saffron variety.

Now let's move on to the definition of this plant

MEDICINAL PLANTS
"Turmeric"
Definition: Turmeric is a herbaceous plant, with perennial leaves that has
subterranean rhizomes that are used after the harvest as seasoning, tincture
and medicinal preparations. It can reach up to one meter in height when it has
reached it’s full development. It has flowers of different colors grouped in
basal spikes. The rhizomes may have a thickness of five to eight centimeters;
With a yellowish color. In Agroshopping they can be obtained fresh for their
integral use.

We continue with aspects of interest

 MEDICINAL PLANTS
"Turmeric"
Climate and Harvesting: The cultivation in our environment is still very
limited, But it adapts very well because it is a kind of subtropical and tropical
climate. Keep in mind that it can not withstand frost.

This is why it is planted at the end of the cold season on loose, fertile soils
and fertilizers, to allow the good development of the rhizomes that are the
ones that are marketed. It is not suitable for compacted, flooded or low
drainage soils where water can be collected

The harvest is done at 10 months or earlier, according to the development of

the rhizomes, which coincides with the fall of the leaves at the beginning of
the cold periods. Harvesting must be done with great care to minimize the
commercial product that rhizomes are.

After the above, here shows us the countries most welcome

MEDICINAL PLANTS
"Turmeric"
Importers: The largest importers of turmeric are

1. Japan
2. Sri Lanka
