As I explained in class, you will have to prepare an oral presentation to be made on the last week of February. In order to celebrate Andalucia´s day your presentation will be about a city, town, village or any place in Andalucia that you particularly like and would like to share with your classmates.

Include location, its natural features (if any) what there is to do and see and why it is so special to you. You also need to include suitable expressions and descriptive vocabulary. 

(People from the advanced level should use Portfolios 5 and 6 from their workbook)

The presentation cannot last longer than 7 minutes and you are welcome to use photos or any other material to help you describe it.

You can check the following links that give you tips on how to prepare a good oral presentation.

Have a great weekend and see you on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Story of Stuff is a short polemical animated documentary about the lifecycle of material goods. The documentary is critical of excessive consumerism and promotes sustainability.

The 20-minute video presents a critical vision of consumerist society, primarily American. It purports to expose “the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. The video is divided into seven chapters: Introduction, Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption, Disposal, and Another Way.

This video was so good that it later became a project, The story of stuff Project. On the website  http://www.storyofstuff.org/, you can watch a lot of other interesting videos.

Below you have “The story of stuff” with English subtitles.
