Select a group of products you would like to promote. You MUST LET ME KNOW to avoid
unnecessary repetition.

all processes are carried out (Use Passive Voice in Simple Present Tense, and any vocabulary
seen in Unit 6)
3 Describe the products Distribution and Delivery by using Modal Verbs as seen in class and any
vocabulary Unit 7
4 Make arrangements for these products by using Future Tense System (Unit 9)
5 Establish means of transportation you will use for the products you have selected. Make sure
you use Contrasting Joining Words to express good vs bad, positive vs negative issues of this
process. Use collocations and vocabulary seen in Unit 9.
6 Compare your products with some similar ones out nowadays in the Market. Make sure you use
vocabulary and expressions seen in Unit 11, plus all types of Comparatives (-ER, more X than,
as X as)
7 Tell me about the top qualities your products have by using Superlatives. Make sure you use
vocabulary and expressions seen in Unit 12, plus all types of Superlatives (The EST, The most
X for positive features, The least X for negative features)
8 You will follow these steps 1 to 7 in order to generate your PPT Presentation Layout, you will not
use PRESI, you will not use any layout but PowerPoint do not pretend to impress, rather focus
on your Oral Performance, be coherent, go right to the point, and study your parts, and prepare
for questions.
NOTE: Once you E-MAIL your PPT Presentation YOU CANNOT MODIFY IT ANYMORE, so
please make sure you polish and brush up your Presentation and make sure all teammates
participate.
References are not necessary for this Project since it is not an Essay I am asking but if you want to cite
References you can. I am telling you this because you may find interesting books and web link books
and/or magazines referring to the products you want to promote.

NOTE: You will upload your video file (first in a YouTube page I'll inform you about, and then... you will upload the
YouTube link in a document in MS Word "in LifeTec web page).

Rubrics of the
project
Students
reflection upon
the process

(see below)

I THINK THAT I HAVE TO STUDY MORE MY SPEECH BEFORE MY PERFORMANCE BECAUSE FOR
EXAMPLE WHEN WE VIEW WORDS OR NEW VOCABULARY WHEN IM PERFORMING I USE TO
PRONUNCIATE SOME WORDS WRONGLY. I THINK THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE LISTENING MORE
MOVIES AND MAYBE SOMETIMES SOME SONGS DESPITE THAT I KNOW THAT SONGS USUALLY
USE WORDS OR PHRASES IN AN INFORMAL MANNER BUT I THINK THAT I VE IMPROVED MY
LISTENTING BECAUSE OF THE SONGS SO FINALLY I THINK THAT BOTH PRACTICE AND
LISTENING MOVIES AND SONGS WILL HELP ME TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH.
