= Getting to Know Your City! =

{{Assignment| Your task is to develop a 10-day, vacation plan for a family visiting Nice.

{{Activity| Step 1) Determine as a whole group the different tourist attractions that you feel best represent your city.

Step 2) Divide up in pairs and prepare a vacation plan by investigating different tourist attractions in your city.

Step 3) Visit travel agencies to get current prices, find ways to present your vacation plans to tourists, and determine the best way to "sell" your information (i.e., brochures, posters, online platforms, etc.). For example, online platforms might include wikis, blogs, or a dedicated website.

Step 4) Present your travel itinerary plan to the class. Step 5) Write a one-to-two page reflection about your experience. ''What did you find most interesting about this activity? What were some challenges?'' etc. }}

{{Assessment|You will be evaluated on your performance, level of understanding, and reflective skills using this rubric.}}

{{Outcomes|English language learners (ELLs) will understand that rest, relaxation, and having fun while on vacation in a foreign location stem from understanding the personal attributes of the tourists. ELLs will learn about why certain tourist attractions in their home city are popular and will gain perspective in one's personality can influence one's experiences. ELLs will reflect on their personal experiences, gain empathy regarding how others feel when visiting the city, and create artifacts that will be useful to anyone interested in visiting their city from abroad.}}
