Webquest: A weekend in London

Discover London through this webquest!

A weekend in London

Introduction:

Have you ever been to London? This time you are going to visit London through the internet. In pairs you are going to book the flight and the hotel, find out where you can eat or what you can do in London. With the information you find, you will have to make an ORAL PRESENTATION using a GLOGSTER, explaining your trip from the very beginning!

Your budget is 1200 euros (remember they have pounds), so don't waste it!!
Have fun!!!

Task:

You will have to make a GLOGSTER (http://edu.glogster.com/) and an oral presentation describing all the information there. In that glogster, you will post the whole planning of your trip (screenshots of your flight, the hotel chosen, the restaurants or takeaway wher eyou will eat, places to visit, ticket prices, itinerary...).

Remember that you work and travel in pairs, so you will have to find everything for two people.

Process:

Follow the steps below:

1. Find a partner you get on well with. Remember you have to spend two days with him/her.
2. Plan the dates for the flight and the hotel, the type of accomodation you would like, the budget you have (do you prefer to spend the money on the room, museums or food?), the places you would like to visit ....
3. Go to "Resources" in order to find useful links. You are also allowed to use a search machine, but you will only use English!!
4. Gather the information and pictures/videos... given on the websites and save them. You have to use your own words for the descriptions. So, do not copy every word from the internet!
5. Make the glogster.
6. Present it in front of the class.
