Around the world in an hour (Just click on the map)
In
the heart of summer just thinking of traveling around. Here is a project of my 5th grade
kids.
They
worked in groups separately which means they made their own choices about what
they would present to us.
The
task was “Tell us about your favourite city”.
After
searching for information and organizing them, they started their presentation
and the journey began : from Greece to Rio in South America ,then to New York, USA,
after that Beijing, China and Sydney ,Australia. We came back to Europe in
London, Paris, Tirana and Rome.
When
presenting their favourite city, they had to explain why they chose it. Some of
their answers were:
“I
like it because I know it from the famous carnival (Rio)”
“I
like it because I want to go there when I grow up (London)”
“I
like it because my uncle lives there (Sydney)”
“I
like it because it’s my hometown (Tirana)”
Anyway
it was a wonderful journey and we really enjoyed it a lot .The kids turned out
to be excellent tour guides!
