SS have to match the pieces of information with the pictures. Two of the students that took part in the trip walk around the classroom and help the rest of the students.
3.Group work
In the next stage of the lesson ss are encouraged to read very carefully all the information about the places in the pictures in their groups. They have to try to remember as much as possible. Then teacher collects the information and leaves only pictures. Each group presents their pictures trying to tell something about the place they can see in the pictures.
4. Group work
