2HAS - Homework for Tuesday, June 7

In groups of three, students will give a presentation about a famous London landmark.  Each group presentation should be about seven minutes minutes long. Each student will talk for about 2 minutes. Ideally you will use the Pecha Kucha method (20 slides x 20 seconds = 400 seconds = 6 minutes and 40 seconds). DO NOT READ YOUR PRESENTATION!!

Do some internet research on your attraction. Do your research IN ENGLISH!
In your presentation you should include:

• where in London the attraction is located
• how to get there from the Smart Hyde Park Inn Hostel (Metro, bus, taxi, by foot)
• when is the attraction open?
• how much do tickets cost?
• is there a reduction for students or groups?
• short history of the attraction
• what can you do/see at this attraction? (this should be the longest part of your presentation - include lots of details)
• are there special events? when? do they cost extra?
• are there any other attractions close by?

a map of London showing where the attraction is located
