Going to London

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

- Make a new post at https://padlet.com/alex_werk/London

-

(Task 3:) GeoGuessr

- Go to https://geoguessr.com/london/play

- Use your own knowledge of London to pinpoint where you are

- You are allowed to use google as an extra tool, but we challenge you to do it without!

- Use the flag icon to return to your original position, this is the position you have to guess

- Post your score on the GeoGuessr padlet overhere: https://padlet.com/alex_werk/geoguessr
