My bucket list

What’s a bucket list? A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die.You can also create a bucket list for a certain year, for example 2016. Watch this clip about a girl’s bucket list. While you are watching, write down the things on her bucket list.

Check this web-page and get more ideas: Bucket list

Now, discuss with a friend what could be on your bucket list. Then, write down five to ten things that are on your bucket list. Remember to explain carefully what it is you want to do and why. Hand the text in to me.

When you have prepared your text, record it just like the girl above has done and show it to me.

 

Planering

Mål: att skriva en egen utförlig ”bucket list” och göra en egen inspelning där du presenterar den.

Att göra: Lyssna på klippet. Skriv ned vad flickan har på sin ”bucket list”. Kolla upp ord du inte förstår och lär dig dem. Läs web-sidan

Skriv en egen lista. Slå upp ord du behöver och jobba på att formulera dig väl. Spela in när du presenterar din lista.

OBS! På Youtube finns många ”bucket lists”. Titta gärna på fler för att få idéer till din egen.

Bedömning: Jag bedömer hur väl du uttrycker dig i tal och skrift, samt hur väl du jobbar med att utveckla och förbättra din text.
