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.

C.
 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 its 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 fortheir integral use.

We continue with aspects of interes

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
