MARYAM MIRZAKHANI: TRIVIA GAME
Today's post is a follow-up activity on the previous one on Maryam Mirzakhani:http://maribelmiroenglish.blogspot.com/search?q=maryam+mirzakhani
This activity may be done in the classroom either as a reading comprehension, in which the learners involved, after reading it a couple of times, go through the multiple-choice questions and choose the right option according to the text.
Another way could be a listening activity: the learners are in groups, and a student from each group reads out the first question. Each correct answer gives the group one point. And a third way could be a trivia game: either the teacher reads out the text and, then, the questions or the learners read the text and, then, the teacher asks the questions.
That is to say, the presentation can be worked
as a comprehension reading activity, a listening activity or
a trivia game.
This activity is addressed to the learners of English wishing to learn about Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman ever to be awarded the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize in Mathematics, and also to intermediate and advanced students of English. CEFR B1 and B2.
I do hope you and your students find it interesting and useful.

IWD 2020: MARYAM MIRZAKHANI
IWD 2020 : MARYAM MIRZAKHANI
The post I am uploading today is an homage to one of the most remarkable women of our century. I happened to hear about Maryam Mirzakhany a couple of years ago, while on a family holiday on the island of Kish, in southern Iran.
Another Iranian woman, a researcher and a scientist I had just met, talked to me about her, and her description of Mirzakhani was so vivid I decided Mirzahani deserved a post of her own. Thank you, dear Neda.
Here it is.
Soon I will be uploading an activity on this post.
I hope you find it interesting.
