This week’s home learning task is to create a travel journal for a country of your choice. Have a look at this video to see one way you could present this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy-IyODev3w
You could choose to use a new little notebook if you have one, or make your own booklet from folded paper or even continue to use your workbooks if they aren’t full.
Step 1: Choose a country you would like to focus on for the week.
Step 2: Create a cover page showing your name and Travel Journal title with images.
Step 3: Create an opening page showing the location you are visiting and the dates – look at the mini calendar example in the video. You can choose your own dates for your holiday.
Step 4: Create a research page showing the type of money, main tourist attractions, weather and any other facts you find interesting about the location.
Step 5: Write a to-do list and packing list for your trip.
Step 6: Write an itinerary for your holiday including predicted weather – you might want to look at popular tourist attractions in order to decide what you’ll do while you are there.
Step 7: Complete the other tasks below, taking a new page for each activity. We can’t wait to see these finished journals. Make sure they are NEAT, BRIGHT and EYE-CATCHING.
