Project: Interview with a famous person

This is a project based on 5th Grade Student’s book Unit 2, Lesson 1, Exercise H (Portfolio). The educational purpose was to use reverse classroom practice so as to give students more time to practise their speaking skills. To this end, I asked my students to form pairs and suggested their using flipgrid which is a Microsoft educational tool that extends classroom time and space. So I structured this project in the following steps:

STEP 1:

Educational Scenario:

Imagine you are a reporter from the school newspaper. You are taking a similar interview with a famous person you like and admire, like the one in Lesson 2, page 30. It can be an interview with an athlete, a singer, an actor/ actress, a writer, a painter, etc.

STEP 2:

Write 4 or 5 questions and add the answers you got. Use magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, the Internet, or the class books for your Greek lessons – eg. Anthologio for information.
