Lesson Series Goals

By the end of this lesson series you can.....

• research a topic and find useful information online
• distinguish between a formal and an informal email
• write a formal email in English to book accommodation 
• formulate  written questions 
• work together in pairs to have a conversation and ask and answer questions
• record a 1 minute pitch that convincingly promotes why you should visit an English speaking country 

What is this?

Working towards a final assignment.....

Over the next three weeks you will work on collecting information about an English speaking country that you will be travelling to on holiday . Each week you also answer a few of the research questions about your chosen country (see next slide - holiday research organiser).  

You pretend you have now been on holiday and at the end of the lesson series (so before lesson 4)  you will need to hand in your final work in the form of a 1 minute pitch about the country and city chosen.  Maximum 2 minutes long. Video yourself and include the real answers to at least 4 research questions in your pitch, plus tell me about where you stayed when you were there, what you did, something interesting about the culture and why you wanted to travel to your chosen country.  Tell me just enough to convince me to also want to travel there and see it for myself.

Choose one country and one city/area in the country.
