Act out as if you were a touristic guide. Show how you could improve the facilities of the place. Advertise the place in order to encourage more visitors to come. Provide a description of the place as if you were saying it to a tourist. You can incorporate an interruption of a tourist who is lost and needs directions.
GUIDELINES FOR THE VIDEO Duration: around 3 minutes. You must upload it to youtube and include it on the glogster. Write the names of the members of the group. Download and print your glogster as it will be exhibited at the town hall. Each member of the group has to speak.
