Ø Think about most prestigious  spheres for career. What are they? Make a list of 6 of them and compare with a partner. Have you chosen any of the same spheres.

Ø Go to the Which group am I in?  page.

Ø Go to the Group task page. Work in groups of 4. Look at the Wikiwand site with lists of the famous foreigners of Ukrainian heritage .

Ø You will see that stories on this website are divided into categories such as:

v Actors and artists

v Sport figures

v Government and civil servants

v Politicians and writers

v Engineers and business

v Scientists and scholars

Ø You can click on each story’s headline to read a bit more about it.

Process 2

 – Stories` summaries to the editorial board

Ø Assign each of your group members a letter – Student A, Student B, Student C.

Ø Go to the Students` task page and choose two categories for each student.

Ø Prepare a short summary of each of the persons you chose in Process 1:

Student A – Actors, artists, sport figures

Student B – Government and civil servants, politicians, writers

Student C –Engineers and business, Scientists and scholars

Ø You are going to present your  story summaries to the Editorial Board of your newspaper. (The Editorial Board is another group in the class – you too will act as the Editorial Board to another group.)

Ø  Present your summaries to the Board, trying to use you own words rather than directly reading your summaries. Remember to include your three key words in your verbal summary.

Ø  The Editorial Board will decide on which story is best of the two for each category, and tell you their decision at the end of the presentations.

Ø You are now going to produce ‘The famous foreigners of Ukrainian heritage`’ magazine, with the articles(approved by the Editorial Board) for each of the categories:  Actors and artists, Sport figures , Government and civil servants, Politicians and writers, Engineers and business.

Ø You may use your original summary as a basis for your final article for your categories, but you will need to include more details this time. Remember that you can find out more by clicking on links or searching in net by name. Try to use your own words as far as possible, and include your three key words. Try to write about 200 to 250 words per article.

Ø   Read the articles written by the other members of your group. Give each other feedback on:

·        Content:

v Is the article clear?

v Do we know exactly what happened, where, when and why?
