Project: an idea for young Egyptians
Our term project is called ‘An idea for young Egyptians’. You share information about an issue that matters to children in Egypt. Choose one of three topics: a website plan for your school, a drawing of a helper robot, or a plan for storing files safely. Work in six steps. One: choose your group and topic. Two: give each member a role that fits their strengths, for example researcher, writer, artist, speaker and checker. Three: find sources, such as a list from your teacher, the school library, and a free online library for people in Egypt; no live research is needed today. Four: organise your work with a tidy folder plan and key words. Five: write in your own words, name every source in a list of sources, and check facts. Six: make the final product and plan a talk: what to say, what to leave out, and how to persuade with reasons and an example. Everything is planned on paper; do not use real photographs of people or personal details.

Project checklist. In a group of four, choose one of the three topics and fill a checklist on one big sheet: topic; who it helps; the role of each member; the sources you will use; your folder tree; how you will credit sources; the final product; and your talk outline with what to say, what to avoid and how to persuade. Practise the talk once. Use no real photographs and no personal details.
