English 4th Grade

Let´s prepare a presentation about our heroes

It's IMPORTANT to plan your ideas before you start:

1) Select your hero. Why is he/she your hero?

2) What´s special about your hero?

3) How old is your hero?

4) What´s your hero like? (physical description and his personality)

5) What was your hero like when he/she was young?

Then, you can start to write your ideas in English. Using the dictionary is fantastic - doing it you will improve your vocabulary.

Finally you can read your presentation and learn it by heart. Do it in front of a mirror and present it to your family or friends - this way you will learn it before you present it in front of your class.

Here you can find a presentation by Connor about one of his heroes

When your presentation is finished ...
