Title of Project:

**Final Task:**
As a contribution to the project we will create a quizz with questions about Spain's facts, figures, way of life, famous people... This quizz can be use by the rest of partners in two ways: a) As a warming-up activity to introduce them in the topic and getting familiar with some aspects of this country, and b) As a template for partners students to do a similar quizz about their countries.

The Quizz will be uploaded to the project wiki and will be available for use.

**Objectives:**
A group of 15 adult students from Motril Official Languages School (pre-intermediate level) will have to create a powerpoint presentation (using a special template) with 15 questions about different topics realted to Spanish facts, culture, way of life, etc. Questions -and the four possible answers for each of them- will be selected in a 'Discussion session' according to their originality, relevance and degree of difficulty. After revision, the powerpoint file will be uploaded to the Project site from where other students can download it in order to answer it. If other partners make similar quizzes, students will have to try and answer them and tell the authors their score as well as any coment about the questions, their difficulty, etc.

**Process**:
1. Students watch a clip of an episode of the TV show "Who wants to be a Millionaire" and discuss until make sure that everybody knows how the game works. 2. Students are shown the powerpoint template for the game and some technical features are explained. 3. Each student prepares several questions (maybe for homework) writes them -and the suggested answers- on pieces of paper and numbers them from 1 to 15 according to their level of difficulty. 4. Each student reads their questions to the class and sticks them somewhere in the classroom. 5. Students 'vote' for the best questions for each 'number'. The 15 selected questions -and answers- are witten on the board and revised for any language improvement (grammar, vocabulary...) 6. In groups, students work on the 'edition' of the presentation. In the computer room -if possible- one group types the questions, another one finds pictures to illustrate the answers, other can write small explanation to the right answers...) 7. Students play the game themselves to check that everything works before uploading. 8. Students -or teacher- upload the file and write an introduction note to inform partners of the availability of the game online.

**Assessment:**

Dear Diego, I tried the quizzes myself. Up to Paella, I was perfect. Howeve, after Semana Santa to Cuba Libre...it got harder and harder. Missed the chance to be a millionaire. I saw the movie //Slumdog Millionaire// (Hollywood or Indian movie) in which a poor indian boy became a millionaire by answering a series of quizzes on TV. Was it the same idea? Noriko Yes, Noriko. It's a very popular format at least in Europe (maybe also in the USA) where everybody knows the 'mechanics' of the show,but perhaps with students who don't know about it, it can be used as a 'multiple chice' questionnaire and let students use some aids (ask audience, look up on th Internet..) only once along the game. That's mor or less the way it works. D.
