Una ceremonia de premios

PROYECTO

Imagine that you’re producing an internet or television Awards Ceremony. The show will include 5 different awards. You may choose the awards to be given. For example: Funniest Film, Most Intelligent Student, Most Interesting Book, Stupidest Animal, Worst Dressed Celebrity, Best Restaurant, etc. You may use a superlative (funniest, most interesting, best, etc.) ONE TIME ONLY. For example, if you have Best Film, and Best Restaurant, only one of them will count because you’re using “Best” twice. For each ‘award’ include 3 nominees and then write a paragraph comparing the nominees and justifying your choice for #1. Finally, list your choice for “best”, “most intelligent”, etc. Example: (naturally this would all be in Spanish)

Most Useful Class at Brearley:

Algebra 2

English 3

Physical Education

Next, you will write a paragraph of about 75 words comparing these classes. English 3 is more interesting than Algebra 2, but Algebra is probably a better class, etc. Be sure that your comparisons lead to a logical #1 choice. Then you will write,

The Most Useful Class at Brearley is…

You will do this for 5 categories.

You will present your winners to the class, saying only the category and the winner, without the written comparisons. However, you WILL include a “commercial” in your presentation, in which you compare two or more products to each other using comparative and superlative forms. For example, maybe you’re comparing two shampoos: you’ll talk about how one is better or more ____ than the other. Your commercial should be no more than one minute. You must practice in advance so you can say everything you need to say in that minute. After one minute, time is up. The commercial must be complete. (Regular TV commercials are generally 30 seconds long.) You may not read the commercial and you are not required to hand in a written copy.
