Your English topics - what to do!


Today, you will get links to places where you can find information about your topic. These are the links you should use. You are not expected to find other ones. If you really want to use other links, you have to clear them with me first. Your task is to do the following:
  • Read about your topic
  • Create a Google Document named after your topic and put it into your English folder.
  • Write a summary of the most interesting and important information you found on the websites provided by me. The summary should be 250-300 words long.
  • Choose a picture that you are allowed to use and include it into your document, with an appropriate source.
  • Copying words without quotation marks is cheating. You should not need to quote much for this task. Remember what you have learnt about using your own words, and quoting from Swedish class with Sofia.
This is class room work and I will grade you on your written submission. All the texts with the images you choose will be presented together to the class, and it will be used as a base for the test on English-speaking countries.

Where to find your information

If you have a country, city or state: use the following as a place to find information:
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/
if you need additional information, consult http:Rough Guides or Wikipedia (English version). It should be absolutely clear which information comes from which place.

If you have British Empire:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire

If you have The Royal Family:

If you have Shakespeare:

If you have American Football:

If you have Cricket:

If you have Australia's Wildlife:

If you have Native Americans:
