Process

To be able to accomplish the task you have to understand very well the following instructions:

1. Form five groups of four people. Choose your team partners. This is a collective work, so everyone has to contribute: make sure that everyone knows his/her own responsibilities! Within your group you can also choose a coordinator.

2.  Now you are ready to surf the net in order to plan your weekend. Remember that you have five hours (45 minutes each) to do your research and prepare an oral presentation. In order to help you here's a list of links but feel free to surf other websites too:

3. Collect your material in order to present it in the most lively and original way. To do so we suggest you to choose suitable pictures, nice headings, pieces of information that you might want to put on a poster, on cards or on trasparencies.

 4. When you have collected enough material, work on it in order to present the activities day by day (Friday to Sunday) and remember that you should be ready to describe them in an oral presentation in front of the class.

5. To present your work keep in mind that you should include the following points:

Decide how you want to present your project (posters, cards, transparencies..) and don't forget to write down where you got the information and pictures from. It is very important to include the websites because in this way you give credit to your sources.

6. Present your weekend plans to the whole class in an exciting and attractive way. For your presentation you have 15 minutes time; make sure that everyone takes part in it!

7. Listen carefully to each presentation and decide which weekend is the most exciting and original. To evaluate your classmates' presentation use the students' grid. Evaluation
