Task: In order to plan our trip to Dublin the teacher has created a webquest for you. You’ll have to choose the places we are going to visit, the restaurants and the pubs we are going to eat in, where to go shopping, and the events that you would like to attend. You can also use videos, music or photos to enrich your presentation.
As it is a group activity you have to make 5 groups of 5 students. Are you ready to start?
