Once again I want to thank you for participating in the workshop yesterday. I thought of putting my money where my mouth is and I decided to share an activity I am planning for my next class here at the Colombo. I am not sure if you can adapt it for one of your classes or if it suits any of the topics you usually teach but here it is.
Goal: Students will be able to describe their
next vacation by describing
a 2-day trip plan using a website for
travelers .
1. Asks students where they have traveled and what other places they'd like to visit. Then give students a word search activity (see appendix A) to identify new vocabulary related to vacation planning.
Appendix A: Word search
2. Make a brief introduction of the web
site they are going to use to plan their vacation. Give an example on how
to plan a travel there.
3. Students work in pairs and agree on the
city they would like to visit. Then they go to the web site and start planning
their 2-day
vacation
completing the planning worksheet (see appendix B).
Appendix B:Trip planner
Finally students present their 2-day trip planner to other pairs.
