Hey! I am sure you have heard of France and its capital city Paris. Well, do you want to go to Paris? Let's learn about landmarks and monuments, the subway and French money. Which landmarks or monuments would you like to visit? How will you get there?
The Task You are planning a trip to Paris with your classmates. You participate in Internet-based activities that will help you get familiar with Paris. You will learn about landmarks and monuments, the subway and French money. At the end you will decide which landmarks and monuments you want to visit, how to get there and how much it costs in French francs and dollars. You will present your final work using Hyperstudio.
The Process Before you start, make groups of 3 or 4 students. All the assignments will be completed in groups. Step 1: Go to http://paris.org/Monuments/ Answer the following questions and share the answers with the rest of the class, using PowerPoint. Each monument mentioned must be illustrated by a picture. Attention! You may not use any of the pictures that I have used in this Web Quest. You can either draw pictures and scan them (encouraged) or surf the Web to find other pictures (you can also find pictures in the school library or in the various encyclopedias available on CD-ROM in this classroom). On the last slide of your presentation, explain what each member of the group did. Make sure that the work load is divided as evenly as possible. Your presentation will be shared with the rest of the class. Choose a speaker. 1. In what
year was the Arc de Triomphe finished?
Step
2: Now
that you know some information about some of Paris' famous landmarks and
monuments, find out how much it costs (if anything) to visit them. To do
so, go back to http://paris.org/Monuments/and
find the information needed. You have to give all the prices mentioned
(entrance fees vary according to ages). Present all the entrance fees
on an Excel spreadsheet.
Step
3: Now
that you know how much it will cost you to visit the landmarks and monuments,
don't you think it would be great to find out how to get there? The only
means of transportation that you will use in Paris is the Metro (the subway).
First, click
here
to see a metro map of Paris. Look at all the different metro lines.
See where they start and where they end. Ready? Let's practice: Imagine
that you are at the Porte de Clignancourt (1st station on line 4) subway
station. You want to go to the Eiffel Tower. What do you do? Take
a few seconds to think.
1.You are at Charonne
(line 9) and want to go to the Arc de Triomphe. What do you do?
Step
4:
You will
share your work with the rest of the class. Choose a speaker (it must be
someone who has not been a speaker yet).
