Introduction
It is the fact that over the centuries the Thames has been central to the growth and prosperity of London and
many of the City's famous buildings and attractions are located along its banks.
You will be a guide on a River Thames boat trip and you will show London from a completely different
perspective.
Task
The purpose of this web-quest is to issue a web-page “River Thames boat trip”, demonstrating 3 famous
attractions
Westminster Palace
London Eye
Tower of London
Using the resources provided, you will work in 3 separate groups of 3 .Now it is the time to divide into groups.
You may choose the partner you are going to work. Each group will choose one London attraction listed on
this papers. Your task will be to find out information about the location, history, opening times and prices of
admission of this attraction.
Each person in your group will have an important role in the success of your project.
Role 1 – Historian – This member of your group will be responsible for researching and reporting on the history
of chosen attraction.
Role 2 – Photographer – This member of your group will be responsible for collecting photographs. Of course,
your web-page will be much more attractive with photos, so collect as many as possible to make your web-page
the most interesting one.
Role 3 – Web-masters – This member of your group will be responsible for designing, generating and revising
your web-page.
