A TROUBLE MAKER OR A PEACE ?

Introduction

La nostra scuola vuole allestire una mostra sui personaggi che hanno contribuito a cambiare il mondo. 

La Preside ha chiesto che sia molto interattiva, per meglio coinvolgere anche gli alunni più piccoli del nostro Istituto Comprensivo.

Alla classe III B è stato affidato il personaggio di Nelson Mandela. Una commissione di docenti deciderà quale gruppo sarà incaricato di rappresentare il personaggio alla mostra.

Task

Uno di voi sarà la statua vivente di Nelson Mandela nella mostra organizzata dalla nostra scuola.

Dovrà quindi  essere preparato per parlare al pubblico dei visitatori in modo fluente e convincente, facendo rivivere il personaggio.

Lo potrà fare solo con l'aiuto e il contributo di tutti i membri del gruppo, che si impegneranno a trovare in rete un po' di informazioni sulla sua eroica esistenza!  

Grazie alle informazioni che reperirete in rete, sarete in grado di scriver una semplice biografia dello statista, che potrete poi utilizzare come punto di partenza per la preparazione della presentazione orale.
