Introduction
Hello everyone!
I have a question for you... Do you like traveling? I am sure you do!
As you may know, this year is the 2nd ESO trip, are you ready for it? 4th ESO students go to London this year and, as your teacher, I thought you would like to be more original and go to DUBLIN!
however... YOU WILL BE ORGANISING THE TRIP!
Task
You are in charge of this mission:
- The trip is going to be 5 days long.
- Find a good hotel/hostel for the whole class.
- Find educational and fun activities to do.
- Find the flights (in May).
- Your budget is 400€ per person.
- Prepare a PPT presentation.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Process
At the end of the task, you should present your trip and your reasons why the teachers should choose yours. The best group's presentation will be our chosen trip and will get to pick up the activities we will be doing everyday, the hotel/hostel we will be staying in and even the days we will be going to DUBLIN!
