CULTURE TOPICS for the STUDENTS to prepare as a short oral presentation, I cut 50 pieces of paper with one entry, each student draws one or more, depending on the number of students in one group, and their task is to SEARCH for SHORT EXPLANATION of the subject on the INTERNET or elsewhere. Their task is to be able to explain the topic orally in front of the class and also to print as many copies of it as there are students in the group, and after the short presentation in front of the class, each student sticks the explanation into his/her mates� copy books. The teacher, obviously, checks the info and corrects if necessary. You can make the list longer if you wish... I also ask the students to add a small picture into their print that represents the entry they have drawn - if it is possible of course (as in the ws). Then the teacher can ask other students what they remembered, for example: What is the Buckingham Palace? In this way the students practice speaking skills and also improve their knowledge about the British/American culture (which can help them with a vast variety of quizzes).
