100 Greatest Britons was a programme broadcast by the BBC in 2002. It was the result of a poll conducted to find out who the people of the UK considered the greatest British people in history.

• These were the results. Choose one of these people, do some research on the internet and prepare a 5 minute oral presentation.
  If you can't deliver your presentation in class, or just in order to do some rehearsal before you do, you can record yourself here. You can repeat the recording as many times as you wish, until you are happy with your pronountiation and intonation. You can also save the recording and give it to your teacher.



• Find someone else on the list you already knew and admire because of their work and achievements and write a brief article for your class blog or magazine, not longer than 200 words, explaining how you first knew of this person and his/her work and why you like what they do or did.
