TASK:
1- After doing the previous activities, you should think about the roles of every group member. Remember that you are four people:
- SCRIPT WRITERS: you should write the script of your role-play all together. In order to do it properly, you should consider a summer camp holiday planning situation. the summer camp holliday will be based on extreme sports. You should ask and answer questions using the present perfect simple and the adverbs (yet, already, still).
- ACTORS/ACTRESSES: The 4 members of the group will perform the role play in front of the camera or microphone. 2 have alredy experienced adventurous summer camp activities. You must read and remember the script. Practise your role a couple of times in order to perform it right.
-
CAMERA OPERATOR: In case you use https://flipgrid.com/ (use this code: flipgrid.com/enoral4), one member at a time will have to record the role-play with the video camera on the mobile phone. This communicative situation cannot last more than 3 minutes.
-
However, if you decide to record your voice with https://voicethread.com/,make sure that your voice is audible. This communicative situation cannot last more than 3 minutes.
-
2- Finally, your task is competed successfully!
Evaluation
In order to assess you, I will use the following rubrics posted on the website:
- Speaking rubric.
- Collaborative work rubric.
Additionally, I will give you some individual and group feedback.
Conclusion
Finally, you have finished the task! You should feel very confident if you need to plan your summer holidays in the future! I hope you have taken in everything we have learnt in this Webquest!
I will correct your role-play with the rubrics and I will give you some individual and group feedback by email.
Remember that you use the present perfect to refer to unfinished time periods or to an unmentioned time period. In combination with the present perfect, you can use yet, already and still depending on your communicative intention:
-
‘Yet’ is used to talk about something which is expected to happen.
-
‘Already’ is used to say that something has happened early – or earlier than it might have happened.
-
‘Still’ is used to talk about something that hasn’t finished – especially when we expected it to finish earlier.
See you soon with more Webquests!
