ORAL EVALUATION: Real life heroes

In this unit you will have to do some research in couples about a person who works at school. Then you will present what you found out.

In your presentation you must include:
  • Person’s name
  • Person’s place and date of birth (year is not important)
  • Person’s place of residence
  • Interesting fact (a hobby or something special they want to share)
  • Person’s history at school: when they arrived, jobs they have done, happiest moment, etc.
  • Something you want to ask him/her. (You MUST show this question to the teacher first).
  •   What message would he/she give the children at school?.
  • In your opinion: What “Real life hero” characteristics does he/she have? (according to what you learned in the previous questions)
  • VISUAL AID: pictures of you interviewing the person,  isolated words, etc.

It is important to remember that this project should be taken seriously and that you should be respectful at all times.
