Slide 1 - Slide

My Area
 I am going to ask you to write about an area that you know well: your own area. You are going to write as if you are writing for a tourist who is going to visit your area and is going to stay in your house. 

Look at the example on the next page.

The idea is that you are going to make a page like you have just seen. You are going to make it in a digital form, so that you can send it to me. 



- You are going to write six short pieces of text about interesting things in your area
- Each thing is within 1 mile (1.5 km) from your house, or at most 15 minutes on foot
- At the top of the text you indicate where you live (City centre, Watergraafsmeer, Diemen Noord, IJburg - for the lucky ones-, etc.)
- Each text is 40 - 60 words long. 
- Each text is accompanied by a small picture. 
- Make it look like the example

Some of you live in the city centre. It will be easy to give examples like Anne Frank house or Rijksmuseum. But for a tourist who comes to stay in your house it is even more interesting to know where you can find a good supermarket or a really nice baker's. So the six things in your area are not necessarily important things, they could just as well be nice shops, playgrounds, football fields or a place where you can sit and relax.

Please note:
It is not necessary to go outside. I am sure you will be able to find pictures on the internet. Use streetview.
Go to: https://www.anwb.nl/verkeer/routeplanner
Here you can see how far everything is from your house.
