A HOLIDAY ITINERARY FOR 10 DAYS

Brief Description
Students think of places a tourist should visit in their country in 10 days by bus. They should decide on six places worth
seeing in their country. Students do research using the Internet, the printed or online press to collect information and
illustrations about the places. The information should cover the following headings like the name of the place, what to
see, what to do, where to stay and what to eat. Students should decide from where tourists will start and the places they
will visit. They prepare their leaflet using the information they gather. They will share their ideas through
photos/drawings and text in PowerPoint presentations, short video movies or a class poster presentation that they will
present at school.
