A Web Quest

Introduction
London is a large, vibrant, multicultural city, rich in history and
with many beautiful and interesting places to visit.
You have decided to spend a month in London, during which you
will be studying English at a language school. You are going to
plan your trip before you go; using the Internet to help you find all
the information you need to make your trip a success.
You will be finding a lot of information from the Internet, which you
will use to make a presentation to the rest of the class.
Process
Find a partner to work with. Try to
find someone with similar
ideas/tastes, as you will have to
agree on your decisions! Complete
the quiz together, and check your
answers with your teacher.
Use the resources to find the information you need. You can do all
this together or divide the tasks between you. Use this information
as the basis of a presentation.
Prepare to do the presentation. You need to decide who is going to
say what, and how you are going to present your information.
Prepare any handouts and materials you need.
Your presentation should last about 10 minutes. You can use
notes, but do not read them. After everyone has given their
presentations, there will be a vote to see which the best was.
Write a postcard to your friends or family back home.
You will complete the self-evaluation form.
How you evaluate yourself will contribute to your final assessment.

Tasks
The purpose of this Web Quest is to plan your visit to London,
where you will stay for one month learning English and, above all,
having fun! You will be provided with the necessary Internet
resources to do this.
1. First of all, you need to arrange your accommodation in
London. Choose from different options (Youth Hostel, Host
Family, Bed & Breakfast…) and explain why you have
chosen it. After that, write down the address of the place
where you will be living. Visit the following web pages to find
information:
http://www.timeout.com/london/hotels/
http://www.londonnet.co.uk/ln/guide/accomm/budget.html
http://www.londonhostfamilies.com/
http://www.hosts-international.com/accommodation.htm
*Accommodation that is close to the centre of London is usually
more expensive than accommodation that is further out. But the
further out you live, the more you will have to pay for transport
costs. Also, you are a student and do not have enough money to
stay in a 5 Star hotel. The more you spend on accommodation, the
less you will have for studying and enjoying yourself.
2. You are flying to Heathrow airport. How will you get to the
place where you are staying? Use the Tube Map provided.

This web quest has introduced the concept of planning a study trip
to a foreign country, and has asked learners to access Internet
based, authentic materials to research the project.
They will have collaborated to prepare and produce an oral
presentation, which they will have conducted themselves.
Through research using authentic materials, they will have collated
and structured information in an original way. This will have
provided the content of an oral presentation, which they will have
either prepared collaboratively and which will have been given to
an audience of their peers.
They will also have produced a postcard to their friends/family at
home describing their experience.
Finally, they will have had to evaluate their own progress and
participation, including what they consider they have learned the
web quest process.
