3. Werkwijze

STEPS .....

Step 1

Make a choice out of the list with ideas for trips at the bottom of this page, for example castle tour. You wil consult your teacher. 

Step 2

Try to think for which kind of people this could be a suitable destination. Notify there might more groups for whom this is applicable. Make a note of this and motivate your choice. Write it and file it digital.

Step 3

Read the paper / file with the information on the travel groups. This paper gives you descriptions on several groups of people. Things like the age, interests, budget, their wishes, the desired means of transport or accommodation, duration of their holiday etc. Make a choice for which group you are going to organize a holiday or trip. You will also consult your teacher so everybody will work on a different assignment.

Start a word document and put your name and choice at the top of the document. Next acitivity is making a word web that has to do with your choice. This will also be noted on the document and shown to your teacher. File it .

Step 4

Give a budget, travel plan and maybe a suggestion for a daytrip or a weeks programme. Present tips about interesting place to go to or to see and tell something about it. Mention where abouts it is (for instance a museum) and also prices, opening hours, etc. Think about making reservations for a musical but also for a boat trip . Offer alternatives for instance : you can travel by boat but you can also fly to ..... 

You will work out a detailed trip or holiday. You will give information on the accommodation, transport and how much it will cost. You will mention possible extra facilities (for instance babysitter,  childrens programme).

You will present this information (in a Powerpoint) to your parents. You will also present it as pages of a travel guide with tips and suggestions for a nice holiday or trip to the The United Kingdom. You have to fit your texts, pictures,travel information, tips etd. on about 2 or 3 pages (A4)  Don't just use big pictures but also suitable information and suggestions.  The lay-out has to be attractive,  clarifying, informative and appealing and must be presented in such a manner that it can be processed in a travel guide. You will do this in PUBLISHER.

Step 5

Explain your choice. You probably had to make a choice out of several options.  Why did you or didn't you choose certain items. Write this in at least 75 words and file it.

Step 6

Make a short powerpoint presentation of about 5 minutes. You will present this for your parents at the parents meeting and possibly for others like teachers or fellow students. 

Step 7

The collected information of all students will be presented in an attractive, informative and appealing travel guide with tips and suggestions for a nice holiday or trip to the The United Kingdom.

Step 8

After your (imaginary) trip or holiday you will make a photo book of at least 4 pages with a minimum of 12 photos of your holiday. You will write short texts that match with the pictures about where you have been and what else you can write about them. (at least 4 lines for every photo, as well in English as in Dutch)

We are sure you will be able to find enough photos that are made at of tourists all over Great Brittain on the internet. Or maybe you have really been there yourself.  (funny pictures are also permitted, but you will have to tell something about it , make it up!). Your photo book should show clearly where you have been and what you have done and whether or not is was a nice holiday.

Step 9

Every week you will leave a message (krabbel) in English on the Hyves "Engels at ROCA12" and on Facebook in English about the activities you have done that week. You will write these messages like it's a message to an English friend. You will tell her or him what you are doing. Make it interesting/ fun / .... so don't simply list your activities. 

Your English teacher will check your contribution every week. Minimum of 20 lines.
