Introduction
Task
After a competition in your school, your class will go on a school excursion as a prize. Imagine that the school principal has asked some students to choose the best destination to go and the activities that can be done there.
Work in groups and decide on a place to go, thinking about the tour attractions, the places to eat and how to get around the city. After choosing the best place to go, you have to create a presentation using Padlet to show your findings and convince your friends and teacher that the place chosen by you is the best one, pretending they are the school principal.
