Introduction
Hello there! Have you ever heard about Hawaii? I bet you have. This name appears very often, for example, in films. A magical place that everyone wants to visit. But why? This web quest will help you to find out!
Before we start, let's watch this film:
Task
Your first task is to read about Hawaii. Use sources below, the film from the introduction part, or other websites you can find.
Next, think about what you have read or watched. Now try to answer a few questions (they are in the process part). Write them down. They may help you with your next task.
Then, decide whether you would like to visit Hawaii or not. Write an email to your friend (100-130 words). In it, include at least three reasons with pictures (positive or negative).
When you finish, check your work and send it to your teacher. Pay attention to the spelling, for all your mistakes count and impact your grade!
Process
1. Go through sources about Hawaii.
2. Answer these questions:
- Is it easy to get to Hawaii?
- Is there warm or cold?
- Are there many attractions?
- What can you do in Hawaii?
- Do you find the place interesting? Why/why not?
- Do you think you could get some rest and relax there?
- In your opinion, what is the most/less encouraging thing in Hawaii?
- Why someone would like to visit Hawaii?
3. Think about what you have read/watched. Decide whether you would like to visit Hawaii or not.
4. Choose three reasons why (you can pick attractions, some features as weather, or animals you like/dislike).
5. Write an email to your friend and explain your decision (100-130 words; try not to write less or more).
6. In this email, attach pictures describing your reasons (attractions, animals, or even too sunny weather if it is that what you do not like). One picture for each reason is enough.
7. Check your work for mistakes.
8. Send your work to your teacher.
