You should visit Canada in your gap year

In this project, you are visiting the city of Toronto in Canada. But visiting Canada is something that can be done in the future, maybe if you decide to have a gap year, which is a year before going to university and after finishing secondary school.

During this year, students can register in extra-academic courses such as language studies, learning a trade, art studies, volunteer work, travel or sports.

So, read the text and answer the questions about the gap year. When you finish, you can check your understanding by doing the proposed activities.

Your task: Finishing the presentation

Task. Step 4: Use the Genial.ly website to finish your digital presentation.

In this step of your task, it is time to complete all the details about your digital presentation about your Canadian city.

As you have to do this task individually, you can share your draft with another classmate and he or she can give you some suggestions in order to improve your final product. Then, you have to give some feedback to another classmate as well.

Your challenge: Toronto at the Google Site

Challenge. Step 5: Organizing the Toronto entry at your Google Site

At this step, you have to finish the Toronto entry at the Google Site.

Each group ( 2 / 3 people) has to organize the information you have searched about Toronto at your Google Site. Creativity in the distribution of the contents is very important. The requirements to finish the entry are:

some text about what to do in the city,
and two links to printable guides, leaflets, brochures.

If you and your group consider that you can add more details to these requirements,you can freely add them to your site.

At this step, you have to write a post at your blog where you share the link of your challenge about Toronto city. You also have to include a summary of which aspects you have changed, which you have kept and why.

You can also share the link of the site and the link of the post in your personal diary through Twitter using the hashtag #EDIAtoronto.
