ALP - INTERMEDIATE EIGHT

Dear Intermediate Eight students:

Your ALP assignment this month is about “tourist spots worldwide”. Remember to use relevant related vocabulary from the book and a variety of tenses. The day of the presentation you should be ready to answer your classmates’ questions (embedded questions).
You will find information to start your research at:

http://www.worldreviewer.com/travel-guides/attractions/page1/

Choose from the following places:

1) Galapagos Islands - Ecuador
2) Great Wall of China - China
3) Taj Mahal - India
4) Eiffel Tower – France
5) Chichen Itzá – Mexico
6) Niagara Falls – Canada
7) Empire State Building – United States
8) Alhambra – Spain
9) The Colosseum – Italy
10) The Sphinx – Egypt
11) The Leshan Giant Buddha – China
12) Leaning Tower of Pisa
13) The White House – United States
14) Bridge of Sighs – Italy
15) Sea World San Diego – United States
16) Disneyland – United States
17) Windsor Castle – United Kingdom
18) Cathedral of St. Basil – Russia

You should do research about the tourist spot you were assigned. You may consult the internet or books. After learning about your tourist attraction you should put all important information in a well-organized presentation that will follow the INTRODUCTION - BODY - CONCLUSION format. You will use your own words for your presentation. Repeating like a parrot what's on the net won't lead you to getting 3 points. My “orientation page” will help you organize your material. You should also make a poster with pictures to illustrate your speech. It could be done with pictures sticked to cardboard or you can make a PowerPoint presentation and upload it to our system through the ICPNA web site. Feel free to ask questions about the ALP in class.

See you!
