This mini research project is designed to develop independence and group work, whilst developing students’ knowledge of a target language country of their choice.  This resource works in any language and the amount of target language you would like the students to use is up to you.

The idea centres on planning a backpacking trip, including four destinations within their chosen country. The worksheet structures exactly what they need to do, for example researching tourist attractions in each place and finding a map.

The second element of the task is for students to decide which items from a given list they intend to pack for the trip. Each item has a weight and they must not exceed 20kg in total. They are asked to justify their choices, which can lead to some interesting discussions!

A great idea to use with disaffected students in Y9 who have not opted for a language but who are expected to continue to study it . I will be creating resources around this idea which we will use in the summer term.

Well, it is a nice resource, but it would be nicer if it was in French (or another language!)
