This is a presentation with some basic facts about Wales. It has many different activities. I also used youtube video clips with it (Tom Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_T3U1rg2I ; Cardiff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au1n9MsfFsI

The last slide is used as an intro for dictogloss (an activity where the students listen to a story twice and then retell it in written form). The story I used is a Welsh legend. I found it on BBC webpage and modified it a bit. This is the text:



GELERT



Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, loved hunting above all else.  When he went hunting he always took with him his Irish wolf dog, Gelert. The prince had many hounds, but Gelert was his favorite

One day Lywelyn went hunting and left his baby son with a nurse and a servant while he embarked on a hunting trip with his wife. The nurse and the servant went for a walk in the mountains leaving the baby alone and unprotected.

After a while Llywelyn noticed that Gelert wasn't with the hunting pack. He concluded that the only place Gelert would go is back to the lodge so he called off the hunt and headed back home.

As the prince was dismounting, Gelert came running out of the lodge towards his master, covered in blood and wagging his tail. The princess went into the lodge and was calling her child's name when she suddenly fainted. Llewelyn rushed in to find the cradle overturned, the bloodstained bedclothes thrown all over the floor, and no sign of his son.

Filled with anger and grief he drew his sword against the dog. As Gelert was dying, he whimpered and his cries were answered by the sound of a baby crying from behind the overturned cradle. Llewelyn pulled aside the cradle to find his son unharmed and the bloody body of a huge wolf next to him. Gelert had killed the wolf as it had tried to attack Llewelyn's son.

From that day onwards Llewelyn never spoke again. Filled with remorse, he buried Gelert in a meadow nearby and marked the grave with a heap of stones.

Students compare the values for the animals' size, weight, and speed.

To start the game, shuffle and deal all the cards face down. Each player holds their cards so that they can see the top card only.



The player to the dealer’s left starts by reading out a category from the top card (e.g. Height, value 5) The other players then read out the same category from their cards. The one with the best or highest value wins, and that player collects all the top cards, including their own, and moves them to the bottom of their pile. It is then their turn again to choose a category from the next card.



If two or more cards share the top value or data is not available for that particular subject then all the cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from the next card. The winner of the hand takes the cards in the middle as well.



The person with all the cards at the end is the winner.

This jeopardy was created for my secondary school students as a fun and competitive review after reading the whole book. Students are divided into three teams and take turns to pick a category and its value. If they answer correctly, the teams receive the money. The team with the highest amount wins.

When a tile is picked, you click on it and students read their question. In the upper left corner, there is a sand clock counting down the allowed time. The correct answer is shown when clicked on the slide. The chosen tile disappears from the table so that only the remaining options are visible.
