Dear colleagues:

This project is about how students could plan a “Dream Vacation”.

It is specifically for teenagers of 9th grade with an A2 level of English.

This webquest would be design in groups of 4 people during a period of time of one month. Every week students have to present what they have done. At the end of the project, they have to deliver a folder with all the information collected. Finally, each group will explain their project in few minutes.

If you prefer, your students can present their project orally to the class.
