Where Do You Want To Go?
Student discussion in KidCom's Who-Am-I? Room

Find out where you want to go. What makes places interesting? Do you want to visit a place you have visited before, or see a new place? Do you need more information than there is in the invitations? The visits will take place later. Now is time to find out where you want to go.

  • Julieta's grandmother in Argentina. (2000)"We are from Norway , and have decided to visit you in Argentina . Why? Because we want to learn more about a country we hardly know a thing about (some of the soccer players in the class had heard about Diego Maradona). The climate and the size of your country seem very different from Norway. Please tell us more about Argentina and the place where you live. We learn to cook at school this year so we are especially interested in what food you eat." From 1999. Read more here..
  • "I would like to go to London . I'd like to visit the Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westimster Abbey and all the other famous places in London. In my life I travelled in my contry.I visided Bologna, Rome, Mantova, Parma, Florence and I went to the sea in Rimini and Riccione. The more interesting city is ROME and i like best the Colosseum in Rome, the Uffizi in Florence, the Dome in Bologna. I've never been abroad but I would like to go to London because it's a very big town with a lot of monuments, historical places and much more attractions than in my town." ISABELLA B, Italy
  • By Gianmarco from Italy, 2002 More information to travellers from Denmark: "Welcome to Fjørå in Norway! What do you want to do? We can: go fishing; go rafting; go to a footballmatch (Molde-Rosenborg); go swimming in the fjord (in the summer); go a trip in the mountain and maybe swim in the Eggevatnet; go to Muritunet on a trainingroom; or you can play a badmintonmatch with us. Choose something and write soon"
  • Where do you want to go? (part of the Who-Am-I? program): Curriculum connections; Practical tips about use in classrooms; Supplementary resources; Workshop; Signing up to participate with your students. Participating in chats is not required to do this lesson!
  • Preparation for students (discussions): Work in groups of four and look the invitations through. Do you all agree? How do you solve a disagreement? Do you vote? Are there other ways for you to reach a decision? Compare how long it takes to go to the places you are interested in. Do you think it matters how long the trip takes? Collect the invitations that interest you most and put them on the billboard to help you to make the choice. Set up a budget for the trip, including transportation, accommodation, food, entertainment, museums, sport events, etc.
  • Interesting background reading: The Tourism track of My Future Job. More examples
