A Wonderful World!
We live on a Wonderful Planet. However, sometimes we take actions that may put the natural survival of the world at risk.
During class you hear, read and speak about Environment Problems. Now you are going to do research and read
about an environment issue.
You have to prepare a presentation on a topic related to one of the themes of Block 1 in your textbook. As such,
the teacher will provide you with an indication of an article published in the National Geographic online site.
This is a pair work challenge, so each pair will have about 6 minutes to present / explore / explain their topic /
article. However each person must speak for 3 minutes. You may use the projection of pictures to illustrate your
speech but you may not project your text.
On this page indicate your topic and take some notes about what you are going to say. You should also write the
name of the pair speakers.
