Homework #35 – Facts and Exaggeration – Characteristics of tall tales

Dear student, your job this week is to find five facts or more about different subjects. Ask your parents for help if needed. Then make a PowerPoint presentation, save it in a pen drive or you can do it in your own iPad. You must present your work to your classmates next Monday. Don’t forget to tell the source (where you found the facts). 

One slide for the fact and another slide for the exaggeration and funny stuff.

As in tall tales, you must exaggerate the facts. See the examples below.

Fact (real, true or regular news):

Corinthians extended their lead at the top of Brazil's Serie A standings with a 3-2 victory over fellow title contenders Palmeiras.

Source: http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/corinthians-beat-palmeiras-extend-lead-in-brazil-serie-a-117110600300_1.html

Exaggeration (stretched truth, exaggerated and funny):

Palmeiras' fans got sad. They were crying rivers for the loss! Yesterday was the end of the drama. The Brazilian Championship reached the final straight Corinthians host Palmeiras in Sao Paulo last Sunday, November 5^th. 

It was a long race to the finish, but Corinthians finally beat Palmeiras. In the end Palmeiras’ fans, even the poor farm pigs across the country, couldn’t stop crying. Anyways, they are all brave and will come back soon! “We will come back!”, they said.
