Task

​

You decided to create a similar video called

“The DON’TS of visiting [your city]”.

​

Step 1

Come up with FOUR/FIVE things people shouldn’t do.

​

Create a slide deck – one slide for one picture + one key word.

​

For each “don’t”, you will be talking for 1 minute.

Step 2

Present the DON’TS (3) to your partner.

​

Your partner will listen to you and take notes.

​

At the end, they will ask you at least 2 follow-up questions.

​

Your goal: Convince your partner to visit your city.

​

​

​

​

​

Reflection

​

1. How did you try to convince each other?

​

• How did you emphasize your ideas?

​

• What would you do differently?

​

• Overall, how do you think the task went?
