ATL

Using a variety of different media, you will research different Spanish-speaking countries and present your research to the class using the most appropriate format for your chosen target audience.  

Learning Experiences:

Students will be asked to research information on different Spanish-speaking countries using a variety of media files and present it to the class / share it with others (e.g. Global Citizenship wall, poster in the classroom, on the digital screens etc.), using different formats.

Students will firstly brainstorm possible media where they can find information (e.g. podcasts, blogs, tourist/travel websites, government websites, songs, posters, advertising etc.).

They will then conduct their research, gathering the necessary information (they must reference their findings)

With their audience in mind, they must determine the best format to present their findings (e.g. poster, video, audio, presentation etc.)

ATL assessment:

Students will present their findings to the class using their chosen format.

The class will complete a listening exercise during the ‘presentation’, and then vote on which they found the most effective and explain why in terms of purpose and audience.
