You will remember that the third term speaking test would be a presentation in class about a film. Since we probably won't have much time for that once we go back to school, I have decided that you will do it using the app VOICETHREAD. It is very easy to use and you can do it with your mobiles, tablets or PCs. Here you have a TUTORIAL to help you with the process. Once you have, you just have to send me the link to my email. Before sending it you must be sure that the sound is good, it's very important.
As for the content, it is the same we had decided in class: a review of a film you really like. Of course, it has to be a film in English.
It's very important that you include all the elements we talked about and that appear in the RUBRIC I am going to use to assess your presentations.
