Objective: You will be given one famous Italian monument or tourist attraction to research and share with the class. You are the tour guide expert of this special place in Italy. It’s your job to tell us all the details, since we don’t know anything about it.

Materials:

o Laptop for research

o 1 neatly hand written or typed copy of your graphic organizer so I can run them off and make a classroom set. Please includes 1 small picture of the monument to share with class

Procedures:

1. You will be given one monument/tourist attraction to research.

2. You must gather some facts and tell the class the information you found.

3. You will become the tour guide for the class therefore; make sure you have gathered all the facts you need about the place.

E.g.: location, historical information, who built it, when was it built, and any other valid information.

4. The information is to be done in English. The monument and location information must be in Italian. EXAMPLE: use: la torre di Pisa rather than the Leaning Tower.

5. The information will be presented to class on Thursday and Friday. You will be asked to give me a hard copy so that I can create a quiz and study guide with the information.

6. The information will then be copied and passed along to your classmates.

7. This is a project grade and in addition, you will be given a quiz on the information learned. Next week some time. The quiz will be in English. However, for the monuments and cities I will use Italian names.
