Project Based Learning Part Two

Stage Four:
The students gave a summary of their survey and report to the rest of the class and then focused on what recommendations they would make.We looked at an outline of a proposal together and the groups started to draft some ideas about what key areas they would propose and the benefits of these areas to the school and students.

While some students were working on the draft, other group members started to research student lounges in other school to report back to their group.

Stage Five:
The students started working together on creating their presentations..one group in particular wanted to try Prezi.Each member contributed pictures and text they had recorded during the previous days and negotiated the best way to incorporate his in their presentation.

Stage Six:
The students had time to practice delivering their presentation to an audience of English language students,teachers and school management who expressed the intention of possibly implementing changes to the student lounge.This gave the project real validity and personal investment for the students.
Here is the link to one of the presentations:

Stage Seven:
The students were given the opportunity to reflect on their presentation performance and give feedback to one another immediately after. I uploaded on presentations onto YouTube and shared on our class Facebook page.As the presentations were on Friday, I told the students to watch them and  identify areas of strength and weakness in their language and delivery. Together we would then evaluate the project and language skills the following week.
