Students won’t feel like they’ve been given ‘busy work’, and even get more out of their vacation by learning about their destination.
✻ Designed to send on vacation with individual students but could absolutely be used as an in-class research project on a chosen location!

How is this better than a package of worksheets (because it is!)?
- A number of tasks are designed to blend with interesting learning activities that will enrich the vacation (visit a museum, learn the language, join a local activity….).
- Assignments involve learning about the destination of the vacation, making it personal and meaningful.
- Tasks are quite open-ended, allowing students to take it in the direction that is of most interest to them, or adapt depending on what they are able to learn about their destination.
— TIPS FOR USE —
This is not intended as a complete work package for a student – there is far too much included.
- Select one or two (or however many you decide) pages depending on the interests an abilities of that student as well as the content you know they will be missing.
- Let the student choose the tasks that interest them
