ACADEMIC PROJECT 1- BASIC 2

Speak about your favorite celebrity,

influencer or artist.

Please remember that this is an individual project. Students can work together preparing their materials in a class
activity; however, the final presentation is just one student by him/herself.

Objectives:

• To speak about the lifestyle of a famous person, using appropriate level grammar structures,
vocabulary, collocations, and language functions with a high degree of success.
• To achieve proper pronunciation and achieve a high level of proficiency.
• To be able to present within a specified time period (e.g. 5-7 minutes)

Activities: SPEAKING ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE CELEBRITY.

• For the presentation the students need to use photographs, posters, Drawings, etc. They could also
use tablets, laptops or even smartphones and show the celebrity´s Instagram as a visual aid for their
presentations.
• Ask the students to help each other with the extra vocabulary for the activity (using their
smartphones), practicing pronunciation and delivery.

• Is he/she married or single?
• Do you think that this person is a good role model for young people?

Assessment:
• Each student will be given 5-7 minutes to present their poster.
• The students present in front of the class (mockery, excessive noise, or any type of bullying cannot be
tolerated).
• Teacher uses the appropriate rubric to grade the effort (use the rubrics attached).
• Teacher must remember that giving feedback at the end of the activity is part of the assessment.

Instructions for the teacher:

1. This is not just a daily class activity: Students need to be given plenty of time to prepare the activity
and to get the materials that they need for the presentation.
2. Introduce the general objective and benefits of the activity: Before starting the activity, make sure to
explain the general objective and benefits to the students. This will help them understand the purpose
of the activity and how it aligns with the overall goals of the level.
3. Review the relevant vocabulary and grammar: you may need to review certain vocabulary and
grammar points with your students preferably days before the activity, so that they can use the target
language in an efficient way.
4. Provide clear instructions: Make sure to provide clear and detailed instructions for the activity,
including any requirements or guidelines that the students need to follow. If necessary, demonstrate
or model the activity for the students to help them understand what is expected of them.
5. Monitor and provide feedback: As the students are working on the preparatory part of the activity,
make sure to monitor their progress and provide feedback as needed. This could include correcting
errors, offering suggestions for improvement, or praising their efforts. You can use the speaking task
rubric provided to guide your evaluation of the student’s performance.
6. Giving feedback: After the activity is complete, take some time to debrief and reflect with the
students. This could include discussing what they learned, what they enjoyed about the activity and
any challenges they faced. You can also encourage the students to give feedback on the activity
themselves and suggest any improvements for future sessions.
