In which countries is English an official language?

Presentation assignment: English speaking world

In groups of 2 you are going to present an English speaking country.

We all know The United Kingdom, The United States and Australia, but what do you know about Dominica, the Cook Islands, Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago?

You are going to research these places and teach your fellow students about these lesser known English speaking countries.

Here’s a list of the countries you can choose from

Only one group per class can present a country. No doubles!

 

Ghana, Nigeria, Ireland, Kenya, Canada, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cook Islands, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, Liberia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sierra Leone and Trinidad and Tobago.

What do you need to talk about?

- Where is this country located?

- What kind of climate do they have there?

- What is the history of this country?

- What are the people like?

- What kind of cultures and traditions do they have?

- What is the capital city and what kind of place is it?

- What is this country known for?

- Who is the leader of this country?

- What other languages do they speak there?

- Why do they speak English in this country?

- etc.. (Be as detailed as you can be and feel free to provide more information than is asked of you. Be creative!)

Your presentation needs to follow these rules

- It needs to be 6-8 minutes long.

- It needs to include a nice looking PowerPoint with pictures and as little text as possible (you and your group should do the explaining!)

- All members of the group have to speak equally.

- All members of the group should be able to answer questions about the presentation.
