hangouts or skype 2 days a week at a specific schedule
until May 7th. This activity will be graded in the

2. Choose one of the topics proposed in the forum to make

comparisons about it. Write a post in the forum to present the
chosen topic to your partners, so that they have to choose a
different one.

3. Write a description of the chosen topic and write 5 comparative

sentences, 3 comparisons of equality and 3 superlative
sentences about it. Post this description in the forum. Don’t
attach any file, write the texts directly in the forum.

4. Check your partners’ descriptions and make comments about

them in order to improve their descriptions.

5. After your partners’ revision and comments, edit your text (if
necessary) and copy your description and the sentences about
comparisons in a power point file and post it in the forum. Use
photos to show the items you describe.

6. Choose one of the collaborative work roles to work in group

with your partners.

Collaborative activity
1. All the forum participants need to design as the group’s
product a Prezi presentation in order to present the
information about the descriptions and comparisons made
about each one of the proposed topics.

2. Design a power point presentation in which you all include

each participant’s descriptions and comparisons with photos
(from 10 to 15 slides). Post this presentation in the forum for
final group revision.

3. Take into account the collaborative work roles in order to work

collaboratively in the forum.

4. Explore the Prezi presentation website at www.prezi.com .

Create a free account in https://prezi.com/pricing/ . Look for
the free accounts on the basic label on top and start creating
your presentation.

5. After creating the presentation, the group’s submitter must

post it in the forum.

6. The final group’s document will be the group’s power point
