Activation: 10 minutes
Hotel Conference
Once the students have completed their hotels, you can move to the the activation.
Set the scene and tell students that they are at a hotel conference. They have to speak to the other groups and find out as much as they can about the other hotels. They are then supposed to grade the different hotels on overall quality. The class decides which hotel is the best deal for the money.
For this, it’s a good idea to demo out exactly what you want them to do. Use your own hotel as an example. After about 10 minutes of the groups learning about the different hotels, the class can decide which one is the best.
Feedback
Board mistakes as you hear them. Try to get about 7 mistakes on the board. Have the class correct the mistakes. End the lesson with a joke.
