Final Task-Pub Quiz Presentation
A pub quiz is a quiz held in a public house. It is a largely British phenomenon, which reached its peak in the early 1990s. Pub quizzes are still extremely popular and may attract people to a pub who are not found there on other days. The pub quiz is a modern example of a pub game. Though different pub quizzes can cover a range of formats and topics, they have many features in common.
There may be between one and more than half a dozen rounds of questions, totalling anything from 10 to upwards of 80 questions. Rounds may include the following kinds (most common first):
Factual rounds - these are usually spoken, either over a public address system or just called out. Common topics include:
General knowledge - covering the topics listed below (if they're not a separate round) and also topics such as history, geography and science and nature. There may well be more than one of these rounds.
Sport - comprising the statistics and minutiae of popular, well-known sports and general facts about others.
Entertainment - movies, TV shows and music (see also below).
Picture round - these use photocopied or computer-printed hand-outs and consist of pictures to be identified, such as photos of famous people (possibly snapped out of context, or else partially obscured) or logos of companies (without tell-tale lettering), famous places or objects pictured from a strange angle.
Who Am I? - A series of clues to the identity of a famous person (or thing). Clues are given in order of desceding difficulty. The earlier a team can identify the correct answer, the more points they are awarded.
Music round - these consist of excerpts (often only the intro or other non-vocal segment) of songs played over the PA system. Usually the teams must identify the song and also the singer or band (sometimes the year the song was released is also required). Variations include the inclusion of film soundtracks and TV theme tunes (requiring the title), and/or classical music (also requiring the composer).
Puzzle rounds - generally on a hand-out sheet. These may consist of crossword puzzles, anagrams and basic math problems.
True or False - questions to which the answer is True or False.
Novelty rounds - themed round a specific word or name (e.g. all the questions relate to a famous Norman); 'connections', where the last answer in the round provides a link to all the previous answers; true or false; and various others to break up the general stream of questions.

ONLINE VIDEO CREATION
New Video tasks. As we learnt, it´s quite simple to become a film director. Once you recorded your own videos, now you can play with the Web 2.0 tools to create a short scene in just 10 minutes. Just drag your favourites, add some music or effects and obviously, the subtitles with lots of imagination. Great fun. But be careful as you can have problems if you embed it in your blogs. I want you to publish the link so as to be visited with a short-cut link, just like this you hava as an example. Otherwise some blog features might disappear.
Try to do your best and good luck.
