Activity 5

Objectives: «to practise writing a postcard; to practise writing about places. Suggestion: If you have no time this could be done as homework. Suggestion: With weaker classes it may be better to do this as group work. Together the group can produce something better than individually, if the group do this, make sure that every member has the final product written in his/her Ex.Bks.

NOTE: It would be a good idea to ask PP to prepare for the project at home before the project lesson. Divide PP into several groups. Ask each group to think over the trip they want to have from their place to other country or countries. Ask them to prepare a plan of the route, think about things they need to take with them, what transport they want to have while travelling, why they have chosen this place /places, what is the purpose of their visit, what they expect to see there.
