In News at 10 your task
is to prepare a 5
minutes news broadcast
to be sent live at 10 o’
clock a.m.
Before collecting and
selecting the news for
the broadcast you must
decide on an editorial
line for your
broadcasting company.
E.g. is it a youth based
program, a music based
program, or perhaps a
sports based program?
The editorial line must
be stated in writing
before you proceed to
finding the news.
You may use the Internet
for finding and
selecting news, but it
is also acceptable to
use what you personally
know has happened, as
long as the news is real
and not invented!
In your news broadcast
you may also include
interviews (i.e. you may
interview one another)
but everything must be
sent live!
You are not allowed to
read from printouts, you
should rephrase the news
and use keywords to
remember what to say.
This way the news will
sound more interesting
and live to your
listeners.
Airport is a simulation
that can be used by
students with a language
competence around level
B1 (European Language
Portfolio).
The simulation can be
played in groups with
three to five students
(if less than five in a
group then some students
will have to have more
than one profile in the
simulation).
The simulation is self
explanatory; each
student is given a text
with a personal profile,
the students read and
inform the other group
members about the
content.
When all members of a
group know the given
information the success
of the group in the
simulation depends on
following the
information and having a
proper strategy.
The students should not
be allowed to speak
their own language
during the simulation.
To play the simulation
the students need 81 map
squares. Each square has
a top side with a
number, the squares
represent parts of a
land map. The students
can move across the map
by choosing squares,
when a square is chosen
the students turn around
the map square to see
the bottom side which
has information.
Before class the teacher
should print the file
with the map squares and
cut out these.
Download the files below
to use the simulation in
your class:
