Written and Oral Presentations (Communication skills)

1. Individual activity. Each student will write about a subject he/she knows about (something done at work, or as a hobby, or any topic the student is an expert about) and later he/she'll present it to the rest of the class, so we all can learn something different from a school subject.

2. First of all they read about "presentations": definition and parts of it (title, introduction, body, conclusion). They learnt they should look up for information related to their topic, such as further studies, statistics or anything to support their presentations.

3. They chose a topic to write and talk about.

4. They chose media to support their presentations: some of them created a powerpoint file; others, a folder with numbered pictures in in; some of them chose a couple of pictures from "Google Images" online. All of the used the digital board to display their files and images.

5. The class evaluated positively their job, and there was a self-evaluation too.
