TRAVELLING AROUND ENGLAND
This 3-hour lesson was done with the use of the E-slate programme. (Choose English, Journey and then the map of Europe/England/London). Below you can see the worksheets I used with my students (A class, A Level). The whole lesson lasted three hours (1. Travelling from Greece to England, 2. Travelling around England, 3. Travelling around London). At the end, students were assigned the project "A 3-day trip to London" (you can see their project in the Projects section).
AIMS:
To train Ss work with maps (Europe, England, London), to read, understand and extract specific information out of a written text, to come in contact with the sights of London and the towns of England, to practise vocabulary related to travelling and sights/towns, to train Ss make a list with things used for journeys, to write a paragraph.
