Task
Today's task will look a lot like what you did last week, but with me actually able to check the results.
-
We will start off with searching the web for interesting places, or other things you would like to visit. Make a top 3 of these places and describe them in a few sentences (+-7 min).
Next we are going to do the walking tour we started with last week, but this time you will post the link and a short description of the tour on Padlet (+-10 min).
And to round off we will give you time to do the geoguessr game again, after each round you will post your results online.
Process
Task 1: Sights to see
Go to google, or any other search engine, and search for words like:
- Sightseeing in London
- London top attractions
- London Tours
Then write a top three of the places you have found, in a google/word doc.
For each place; write a short description. In this description mention:
- Where in the city it is located (centre, financial district, suburbs)
- What there is to see and/or do
-
Task 2: Plan a tour
- Pick 2 of the sites from Task 2 and go to https://maps.google.com and click on directions
- Enter the two sites you would like to see and let google calculate a route between them
- Make sure you set the route to walking, or maybe a bike. We will not be using cars!
- Look at the walking route and find a place to eat on, or close to, the route you have set out
- Add the place to your walking route and check if the total distance is realistic for a group to walk
- Write a description of your sightseeing-tour.
- You will post a description of your tour, together with a link to google maps, on Padlet.
- The description of your sightseeing-tour has to be between 200 and 300 words
