Unit of Inquiry homework - research for Summative Assessment task

As the lovely Miss D said in a previous post, we will be using our UoI homework time to continue our research for the Summative Assessment task which will be to create a 'Travel Agency' encouraging a target audience to visit Lisbon (and surrounding beaches, parks, museums etc).

Yesterday, each child should have received 2 'tourist' maps of the Lisbon area. We would like the children to look at the maps they have received and discover all the reasons why someone might like to visit Lisbon. Also, we would like them to look at the different areas which make up Lisbon and the attractions in those different areas (a little geography, i.e. where is the Centro Cultural de Belem in relation to the Parque das Nacoes). Perhaps, they may even be able to PERSUADE you to visit a museum or park in Lisbon that you, as a family, have never been to before...

It would be great to know if they have managed to use the persuasive techniques they have learnt in class to persuade you to go anywhere new!

There is no recording necessary for this homework. Perhaps the children could circle, in one colour, all the places they have already visited, and in another colour all the places they would be interested in visiting.

I hope this will be a fun activity in which the whole family can be involved in celebrating the wonderful city in which we live!
