Doing

Working in teams, choose to research a particular English accent.  (no team shall pick the same "accent")
 

Visit this wikipedia entry to learn the basics of the accent:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_accents_of_English

 

 Cover the following aspects:

- Where the accent originates (its complete roots), starting from the British Colonization (1500-...);

- Where the accent is being used, and by how many people;

- Famous people who come from the area;

- Show the accent (by video or by presenting it yourself); 

- any other relevant information 

​

You will be evaluated according to the quality of your overall work and presentation. (pertinence of information presented, how well you were prepared,visual support,...)

​

The whole presentation, including any video excerpt should last around 5 minutes.
