The Process

You'll be divided into small groups of 3-4 pupils. Each group will be assigned a different haunted place to investigate and promote. Decide who should be responsible for what. Remember: organisation and collaboration are vital!

Take the following steps to accomplish this task successfully:

1. Surf the Internet (75 minutes approx.)
   1. At the bottom of the page there is a list of some haunted places; click on yours. You will find links to several relevant websites useful for your investigation. While reading note down the words used to describe the place, the history and the ghost, especially the adjectives and the collocations.
2. Create your brochures (45 minutes approx.).
   1. Vocabulary Games (15 minutes approx.) This will facilitate the writing of your brochures.
   2. Elaborate the material you've found on the Internet - such as pictures, photos, maps, etc. You can use Word. When you have collected enough information, organise it like this:
      • place description
      • location
      • history
      • ghost's story (appearance, impressive or curious facts, etc.)
3. Competition (45 minutes approx.)
   1. Use Powerpoint to highlight the keywords of the most important points you want to elicit. This helps the audience to focus on the major aspects and, at the same time, it's a good support for you to present without reading.
   2. each group presents its findings, brochures and any other material to the rest of the class. Remember: speak clearly and use your brochure to do your presentation.
   3. the other groups listen and vote for the most attractive and intriguing haunted place!!
