Anglia

• The Anglia exam will take place on the 13th of April (Thursday). Miss Bull is going to inform me on what time and place this test is going to take place. 

• This exam consists of a reading, listening and writing part. 

• We have already practiced on reading and listening. We practiced a little bit on writing (Building Bridges Essay), but we will do some more writing, reading and listening assigments in class to get the hang of it.

Building Bridges 

• You are going to make a 3-4 minute video, in groups of 5 students. About the topic ‘’films’’
• Deadline 22-3-2023 (next Wednesday) before 20:30. Use wetransfer.com to send it to me.

 

• Everyone in your group has to talk about the same topic, so make sure you all agree. 
• There has to be 1 president, who is going to make sure you all hold up to the agreements.
  
• If there is someone who does not keep to the agreements or does not participate in making the video, this person will make a video on his own after school.

• Your teacher will send the video to the other school before the live meetings. You will get feedback on the video based on the Anglia CARAT system. This will help you to better communicate, both in writing and in presentations.

Building Bridges 

• Form your group.
• I want to know when you are going to make the video (date and time).

• Find a film/movie that you are going to talk about (time 5 minuts.).

• Start with writing your script. First, you will write down in a word document who the team leader is. 
• Then you make sure that at least two people have the final video on their phone. You also note this in the word document
• And at last, write down exactly what you want to say in the video. This way all you have to do is create the video.

Make sure you work together, stick to the time limit, organize your message.
