In the group, there are many persons who love travelling, so this could be an interesting point to interchange some ideas about different ways of living and cultures.
COMPARING AND CONTRASTING DIFFERENT COUNTRIES:
- COUNTRY: Inhabitants, main cities and towns, languages spoken, tourist places, landscape…
- DAILY LIFE: Timetables, educational system, leisure activities, meals and food, services, shopping, prices, the weather, sunny hours and their influence in daily life, living in houses or flats…
- PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: Family, love matters (marriages), living with your partner, friendship, youth, life style, number of children, pregnancy age, maternity leaves, elderly people (ways of living, pension systems) …
- SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR: Common rules, children, punctuality, tabus, the problems of society today, buying or hiring a house…
- MASS MEDIA: TV programs and audience (soap operas, rubbish programs), News, newspapers and magazines, topical subjects…
- FESTIVITIES AND TRADITIONS: Typical celebrations, religion and believes…
- LABOUR SITUATION: Main jobs, unemployment rates, educational levels: illiteracy & University rates, minimum salary, specialized demands… (familiar concilliation)
- HISTORICAL ASPECTS: History, literature, artistic fields…- ... ... ...
Come on, start thinking and building your Travel Project!
Just focus on some aspects, not all of them, and in one country and ... compare, tell, search for information, make a class interview, share your own experiences, write a real email to some association or organization asking for information... But everything in English, of course!
Give free rein to your imagination! The final product can be an article with links to the some websites, a power-point, an oral exposition with photographs, a class newspaper, ... whatever you want or you can imagine.
Remember it's always better to work in couples or in groups of three people, so you will collect more ideas and proposals.
