Likes and Dislikes for 8th Grade

Introduction

Do you know how to explain your likes or dislikes to other people in English? There are many ways to explain liking or disliking to other people. You can use verbal and non-verbal language. Verbal language is described by the vocabulary, tone, and stress you use when speaking. Meanwhile, non-verbal language is described by our expressions when speaking.

 

Task

You will familiarize yourself with the expressions used in introducing yourself or other people which will later be used by you to make roleplays recorded in video form. Follow the step-by-step activities in the “process” section of this WebQuest. I hope you enjoy your browsing. I’m looking forward to watching your videos in the next week.
