Our focus today was tourism and responsible tourism.
- We checked the homework from last lesson that SOME people had done – workbook pages 60-61 exercises 1 - 4.
- We did student’s book pages 72-73
- You talked in groups about tourism in Porto and ways tourism could be made more responsible
- We did two activities from LearnEnglish Teens about tourism: http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/listening/elementary-a2-listening/tour-london https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/uk-now/video-uk/heritage-tourism
- We also looked at this video activity about multicultural Britain, as it features Cardiff, which is the name of our classroom! http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/uk-now/video-uk/multicultural-britain
- In groups, you began to plan a tourist information poster about Cardiff. We will make these in class next week.
- We had a few minutes left at the end, so I showed you a video of a woman who lost the use of her legs in an accident, but still goes surfing with the help of a friend of her son. It’s here if you’d like to see it again: https://youtu.be/4h51_z386-M
Homework: Find out the information you need for your tourist information poster about Cardiff. Collect any pictures or photos you want to use. Don’t copy huge amounts of text from Wikipedia or other websites. Collect key information so you can write your own texts in class.
Here is a good example of the sort of language you can use when you do your poster in class: http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/reading/intermediate-b1-reading/travel-guide
