ALP - INTERMEDIATE SIX

Dear Intermediate Six students:

Your ALP assignment this month is about “2012 CNN HEROES”.  Remember to include modals and phrasal modals along your presentation.

You will find information to start your research at:

www.cnn.com/heroes

You should do research about the 2012 CNN Hero of your choice. After learning about your hero, you should put all important information in a well-organized presentation that will follow the INTRODUCTION - BODY - CONCLUSION format. You will use your own words for your presentation. Repeating like a parrot what's on the net won't lead you to getting 3 points. My “orientation page” will help you organize your material. You should also show pictures to illustrate your speech. It could be done with pictures sticked to cardboard or you can make a PowerPoint presentation and upload it to our system through the ICPNA web site.  Feel free to ask questions about the ALP in class.

Hope you find this information helpful,
Gabriela

You should do research about the celebrity you were assigned. You may consult the links that are included in this page or just find your own material. After learning about your celebrity you should put all important information in a well-organized presentation that will follow the INTRODUCTION - BODY - CONCLUSION format.

You will use your own words for your presentation. Repeating like a parrot what's on the net won't lead you to getting 3 points. My “orientation page” will help you organize your material. You should also make a poster with pictures to illustrate your speech. It could be done with pictures sticked to cardboard or you can make a powerpoint presentation and upload it to our system through the ICPNA web site.
Feel free to ask questions about the ALP in class. Remember that you will have to talk about the celebrity’s life and you will also have to show pictures and describe physical appearance features. You will need to use the Simple Present and adjectives.

Hope this information is useful!
