We are going to choose a place (an English speaking country, see list)

We are going to investigate what is interesting about this place:


  • Some facts about this place (where is it?, what climate is there?, is it a rich/developed country?
  • what can we visit  in this country? (museums, theme parks, nature parks, beach spots, cultural places, famous sites...)

Then we will prepare a script containing this information.

With this, we are going to make a poster.
