L’INTRODUCTION
During the Spring Term 2001, your school is planning to visit its partner school in France, as part of its exchange programme. The French school has contacted your teachers this week to suggest you might like to visit Paris and stay overnight. They would like you to sort out the itinerary for the two days. Where would you go? What would you visit? Where would you stay? You have an unlimited budget to expand your horizons.
LA TACHE
Using the web addresses and other resources provided, plan a day’s activities and find suitable accommodation. There are 20 pupils in your group plus 2 teachers. You will need to bear in mind how you will get from one site to the other, where and what you will eat, the cost of entry etc.
LA METHODE
The French school will provide you with transport to and from Paris, but not whilst there. You will arrive in Paris by 4pm and need to leave by 6pm the following day. Paris is at your fingertips with your computer. Take a virtual museum tour. See live webcams. Visit cafés, shops, open markets and discos. Get to know the Paris public transport system.
1. Use a combination of the websites listed and linked below and the travel brochures, guide books and maps to decide which places you’d like to visit.
2. Use the websites and/or scanner to gather graphics, which will help to build your presentation.
3. Use all the resources available to you to find information about your proposed visit.
4. Decide on a hotel that is centrally located.
5. Decide exactly what you’d like to do and see and in which order.
6. Use maps to decide how you’ll get to those places.
7. Use a selection of the information you have found to prepare your group presentation, lasting no more than 10 minutes, using PowerPoint. You will give your presentation in French illustrated by the PowerPoint slides.
You will need to work quickly and efficiently, as your time is limited.
