Picture

Activity 2 - What do we need to do?


Activity Tasks
  1. Re-examine the unit CAT Sheet to remind yourselves of what you need to do to complete this assessment.
  2. In groups, examine the brochure template you will be using to complete your work and download a copy of this.
  3. In pairs, examine these four examples of persuasive paragraphs that have been written about tourist attractions. 
  4. For each example, give a level for both the use of vocabulary, and knowledge & understanding of the attraction.
  5. Share your feedback for each example with a partner, then discuss your grading with the class.

Activity 3 - How can we sort our research?


Activity Tasks
  1. Complete a mind-map for each attraction that you are investigating. Sort the information from your Action Plan onto your mind-map, using these categories to sort your information:
    1. What? - what is your attraction? 
    2. Where? - where is your attraction?
    3. When? - when was your attraction built/created? when is best to visit?
    4. Who? - who runs or owns your attraction? which type of people should visit? i.e. families
    5. Why? - why should you visit this attraction?
  2. Add key vocabulary words onto your mind-map from this vocabulary list. Consider which are the most accurate and descriptive words to use for each category of the mind-map.

Activity 4 - How can we write paragraphs?


Activity Tasks
  1. Begin drafting your persuasive paragraphs for each tourist attraction in your books or directly onto your Action Plans. Don't forget to use this vocabulary sheet to help you thing of appropriate adjectives.
  2. Refer back to example one on this worksheet for tips on how to structure your paragraph. Each paragraph should contain:
    1. Description - What, where, when, who? - This part should describe to the reader basic details about your tourist attraction. Remember to rely on accurate, precise, and well-researched knowledge about your attraction!
    2. Explanation - Why? - This part should explain at least one reason why tourists should visit this attraction, using examples where appropriate.
  3. In groups, review each completed paragraph, using the CAT sheet to help grade each paragraph. How could you improve each paragraph?
  4. Once your group is happy with each paragraph, paste them onto your Action Plans, ready to copy to your Brochure Templates next lesson.

Activity 5 - How should we cite our sources?


Activity Tasks
  1. Discuss - Why is it important to cite the sources you use? What happens if you don't cite your sources?
  2. Go to www.citethisforme.com and click on 'APA'. APA is the format we use when citing information.
  3. Generate a citation for each source of information you have used and paste the completed citation into Step 6 of your Action Plans.
  4. Discuss with your group to make sure you have citations for each source of information you all used, including books, websites, and magazines.

Activity 6 - How can we map our locations?


Activity Tasks
  1. Use Google MyMaps to place a marker for each of the eight attractions on your island. Give each marker a name identifying the attraction.
  2. Now use the ‘draw a line’ feature to draw a walking route around the island, making sure to connect each attraction. Remember to start and end your route at the main ferry pier.
  3. Finally, share your map with your group and take a screenshot of the finished route map and save the image file. You will paste this onto your finished brochure next lesson.
