Now if you could go anywhere... 

Picture this: your class has won a trip around the world, for you to plan. 
BUT: 
- you can travel to a maximum of eight different countries 

- you have to visit a minimum of three continents 

- you have to use a minimum of three different kinds of transportation. 

- you can only travel in one direction: only east, or only west. You can travel from north to south and back without restriction. 

Your task 

In your group, first decide on the eight countries that you're going to visit

Secondly, decide how long you're going to spend in each country

Thirdly, decide what you're going to once you're there. 

Finally, decide which part of your trip is the most interesting because that's what you're going to present to the rest of us. 

You have today and all of next week's lesson to work on it. After the spring break you will present a general overview of your trip, with the best part(s) of it in some more detail. 

Speak English! 

I'll put you in groups. 
Speak English at all times. 

You can create a PowerPoint for your presentation but you don't have to 

Homework for next week: nothing at all, unless you want to work on your trip
