• “Certainly travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent in
the ideas of living” (Miriam Beard, 1876-1958, an American historian and archivist). You could use this
quotation to prompt students to start thinking about what is involved in travel. Point out that travelling is an
opportunity to learn about new cultures, to get acquainted with people, to experience new things, etc. Ask
your students what kind of experiences one might have while traveling.
Activity 2
• It is important not to try to be exhaustive with this activity; i.e., using a lot of time to list every single activity
students can think of. Use only the amount of time necessary to complete it successfully.
• Make sure your students understand what is represented by every single image. Answer any questions
they may have.
• There are two approaches to this activity: to enhance previous knowledge about words and expressions
related to leisure activities or to introduce your students to new words and expressions. You may adopt either
of these approaches as long as it contributes to the development of the social practice and the product.
