Your day starts at 9 am and finishes at 8 PM. You want to get a real taste of the city You also plan to go to some really nice restaurants. Money is no object. In order to do this you should try to find as much tourist information as you can. Use this site.
Type your travel plans on a separate piece of paper. (You should hand this paper in next Monday.) Be prepared to present your trip to the class (about 5-10 minutes), or in small groups. Don’t just tell us where you are going, but also why you are going there. What are these places famous for? Perhaps there is some history or story to be told about the places that you plan to visit. Note: Travel plans are not a part of this lesson. However, you should choose one really nice hotel to stay in for the whole time you are in New York City. I will put an example of a day schedule on the white board so you can see what it should look like. |
