Arranging a holiday like this needed careful planning. Experts were required to help the students with planning their journey.
Room 4 students, our buddy class, took on the role of travel agents. Their job was to convince the travelers from Room 15 to choose their airlines, tourist destinations, places of interest, cafes and cinemas.
The students brainstormed what they knew about Spain. There were many ideas raised about Spain and where it is in the world. Some students thought it would take many hours to fly there. The students decided they needed to know more about Spain.
When the travel agents visited Room 15, they shared the brochures. Each travel agent read their brochure to their traveler, and they pointed out some of the fun things they could do in Spain. Room 15 students needed to listen carefully and decide what they might like to see and do.
After the travel agents returned to their businesses (classroom), Room 15 students discussed what they had seen and heard. Students remembered some tourist hot spots, and they tried describing what they looked like. A list was made of their favourite places to visit. Students learnt they could acquire information from listening to an expert and looking at pictures.
The next step to going on their holiday to Spain was to organise their passports and pack their bags. Students would need to research what a passport is and what information is in it. They would also need to investigate the climate so they could pack appropriate clothing to take.
