Organize a trip/travel


This team work is designed to better know places to visit near to where you live. You are going to organize a trip to an interesting place in the Iberian Peninsula in order to get to know its tourist resources. After that, you are going to prepare an oral presentation to present your work to your classmates (the presentation should take less than 10 minutes).

1. Task:
You and your partner are going to organize a trip to a place that is interesting for you due to its cultural or natural resources, or its leisure activities. The trip will be for a weekend, so it should be close to our village. 

2. Process:
In pairs you have to decide different aspects of the trip:
•    Place to visit
•    Transport:
What type of transport are you going to take?
•    Look for different resources of the city/village/region:
Cultural resources of tourism
Natural resources of tourism
Leisure activities
•    Organize the schedule of your trip:
What are you going to do on Saturday?
What are you going to do on Sunday?
Where are you going to sleep?
Where are you going to eat?
•    How much money are you going to spend? (for two people)

3. Conclusion:
Your aim is to be selected by Kristie and I as the best trip to carry out. You have to convince us to choose your trip. We have been saving money for it, but we don’t know which places are interesting to visit. We are going to consider some aspects:
•    A logical time to spend on traveling (it’s only a weekend)
•    The cost of the trip. We have been saving money, but we don’t have too much (it should be something reasonable)
•    The activities that you propose to do (it should be a variety of activities, cultural, natural, sports…, to be interesting for different people with different interests or hobbies)
•    If there is a place chosen by more than one group, the mark would be divided (you have to make an agreement to choose different places, cities…)

4. Due dates:
Days to work in class: 7/5 & 16/5
Due date for the project: 21/5
Presentation in class: 21/5
