7. Project «Planning a trip to the UK»

В качестве домашнего задания попросите ребят подготовить проект по тем местам, которые они хотели бы посетить в Великобритании. История такая: для подачи документов на визу надо подготовить план поездки. Учащиеся вначале продумывают план, учитывая локации, проживание, транспорт, бюджет. А затем составляют проект с картинками и видео, чтобы собрать группу друзей, которые захотели бы присоединиться к их поездке. 

Starting point

Look back at the lesson material. Which places would you like to visit? Is there anything else you’re interested in?

Project task 

Imagine that you want to go to the UK too. You need to craft an itinerary for the visa application. You should have a clear plan for your visit and thoughtfully think about the places you want to visit, preferred activities, and budget for your trip. Here is an example:

Day-by-Day Itinerary:

Date	Activity Plan	Budget	Accommodation
Day 1 June 3, 2024	Arrival at London Heathrow AirportObtain an Oyster Card and take a train to Central LondonCheck in at the hostelExplore attractions like Tower of London and Tower Bridge	£8.50 £35 (per night)£34+£3o (for food)	NX London Hostel 323A New Cross Road, London SE14 6AS England
Day 2 June 4, 2024	Hop-on, Hop-off tourWalking around parks	£27	NX London Hostel 323A New Cross Road, London SE14 6AS England
<…>

Do the project 

Search for information on the Internet about famous landmarks in the UK and create a roadmap. Think about the ways you can travel to these places. Check out the prices for the entrance and the cost of the travelling.

Research areas:

A. Places (what you want to visit)

Useful websites:

• Tripadvisor
• Booking

B. Locations (how to get there)

Useful website:

• Visitbritain

C. Fee and tickets (how much it costs)

Look for the accommodation. Find the most suitable for you. 

Useful websites:

• Booking
• Uk.hotels
• Airbnb

Make a budget. 

Research area:
A. Accommodation
B. Fee and tickets
C. Food and drinks
F. Other expenses

Think about… Digital skills You can look for information about places in the UK in your own language. However, be careful using online translation tools to translate it. They are not always 100% correct! So you may try to google in English.

Collaboration When you work in a team, decide the best way to divide the work equally and fairly. For example, each student could search for different information. Or some studentscould look for information while others are responsible for preparing artwork or giving the presentation. Make sure that everyone Is happy with the distribution of work. Useful language: Who wants to […]? Are you happy doing […]? Can I […]? I’d like to […]. Can I volunteer for […]? Why don’t I/you/we […]?

Academic skills When you search for information online, it’s important to look critically at what you find. Consider who wrote the information. What makes them «experts» in the topic?

Organise the information in PowerPoint or a poster with pictures. 

Present the project to the class

Evaluation

A. Content
