Write on the WB: AIR, RAIL, ROAD, and SEA. Elicit from the WC which method(s) of travel they use most often on holiday and why? "Why do you prefer that method of travel when on holiday?" Then write on the WB: COMFORT, SAFETY, PRICE, RELIABILITY, and SPEED. Elicit from the WC which factor is most important to them, organizing the WB words in an order of importance (1:5; 1 being the most important and 5 being the least important). "When planning for a holiday trip, in an order of importance (1 being the most important and 5 being the least important), how would you order this criteria list?" Write on the WB: "Business versus Personal/Recreational; Travel alone versus Travel with your family; Destination of the trip." Divide the WC into groups and redirect their attention to both lists on the WB. "Which method of travel would you prefer, and how would your criteria list change, based off of these factors? Discuss in your groups." Following GW discussion, elicit from some of the group their differentiated priority lists. Write on the WB "Places You Have Traveled To." Elicit from the WC some destinations that the Ss have traveled to and visited (both inside Turkey and abroad). Encourage the Ss to identify and explain which places they enjoyed and which places they did not enjoy.

Write on the WB WORST AND BEST HOLIDAY EXPERIENCES. Refer the Ss back to the previous lesson and our discussion of things that irritate us when we travel. "What must happen for a holiday to become a nightmare experience?" Write the Ss' answers on the WB. "Let's now think the opposite way. What must happen for a holiday to become a favored memory of yours?" Write the Ss' answers on the WB. Write on the WB: "1) What went wrong and why?; 2) What did you do [about it]?; 3) How did you feel [at the time]?; and 4) How did things turn out [in the end]?" Instruct the WC, in pairs, to share with each other the worst holiday that they ever experienced. Reference the talking points on the WB. "Discuss these 4 things when sharing your bad holiday experience." Following PW discussion, bring everyone together for WC FB. Elicit from the WC any perfect holiday stories. "Can anyone describe to me a perfect holiday experience that they had?"

Inform the WC that they are going to read about some bad holiday experiences. "In this HO, three people (Tim, Gabriela, and Kelly) describe a very bad holiday that they went on. The destination for the holiday was perfect, but everything else went wrong. In your groups, I want you to discuss how you would feel if you experienced the holidays that Tim, Gabriela, and Kelly describe. Do you agree with these people? Do you think the experiences that they describe are situations that would ruin a vacation? Why do these people think that the destination is perfect, but the timing was not right?" Organize the Ss into groups and distribute the HO "In the right place...but at the wrong time!" Following GW discussion, elicit from the groups their answers and the reasons for their answers.

Focus on Gabriela's (heatwave in a normally cold environment) and Kelly's (a romantic destination after a break-up) vacation experiences. Write on the WB COMPENSATION. Elicit from the WC whether or not they think that those people deserve some sort of refund (i.e. 'compensation') for their 'ruined' holiday experiences. Inform the WC that they are going to look through a list of some complaints, from tourists, concerning 'bad' holiday experiences. "Decide, in your groups, if you agree with the complaint. Do you think that the situation, or circumstance, being complained about would negatively affect your holiday experience? Decide if the complaint deserves some sort of compensation. If you think the complaint should receive compensation, how much should the complaint receive (e.g. a 50% refund of the plane ticket/bus ticket/vacation package/boat ticket/meal/etc.)?" Distribute the HO on "Holidays from Hell!" and divide the WC into groups. Following GW discussion, bring the WC together for FB. Provide the WC with the answers to the HO (project or read aloud). Elicit a general response to this information.

Write on the WB WHY DO PEOPLE TRAVEL? Try to elicit from the WC various reasons for traveling within your native country and abroad. Write some on the Ss' answers on the WB. Write on the WB TOURISM. Try to elicit from the WC what tourism can be defined as (T ANSWER: the business or industry of providing information, accommodations, transportation, and other services to tourists). Elicit from the WC: "How does tourism benefit a country? Why would Turkish people want tourists to visit Turkey for example?" Under BENEFITS, write some of the Ss' answers on the WB. "What about its disadvantages? Are there any issues or problems that are created by the tourism industry and tourists?" Under PROBLEMS, again, write the Ss' answers on the WB. "Now, in groups, I want you to think about and discuss tourism for the world. Do you think tourism, in general, is good or bad for the world (for our environment, for the general populace, for wild animals, etc.)?" Following GW discussion, elicit from the WC the specifics of their group conversations.

Write on the WB 40-DAY WORLD TRIP and underneath the header the following categories: COUNTRIES; PEOPLE; ANIMALS; CULTURES; ACTIVITIES; LANDSCAPES; and BUILDINGS. Instruct the WC to imagine that they are going to travel the world in 40 days. "You have an unlimited amount of money and you can go anywhere and do anything you want." In groups have the Ss plan their 40-day trip. Highlight the categories on the WB. "Visualize your world trip in as much detail as possible. What countries would you visit in 40 days? What people (and animals) would you interact with? What cultures and cultural activities would you experience? What landscapes and what buildings would you see?" Provide the groups with plenty of time to discuss and plan their world trip. Following GW discussion, have the Ss share with each other (GW-GW) their plans for their world trip. Inform the WC that they are going to watch a short film of a man's 40-day trip around the world. "The title of this short film is called 'Rise Up.' The director of this film traveled the world in 40 days. And this is what he saw." Instruct the Ss, while watching the film, to make notes on what animals, people, landscapes, buildings, and cultural activities they see. "Based on the animals, people, landscapes, buildings, and cultural activities that you see, try to identify the countries that the director of this film visited in 40 days." Following a viewing of the film, have the Ss in pairs share their notes. Following GW discussion, bring the WC together for FB. For those countries that are not mentioned, provide the WC with the answers. [T Answer: 3 regions of India (Tibet), Tanzania, 3 regions of Chile, Cuba, and NYC.] Inform the WC that they are going to watch the film a second time. Now that they know the answers, instruct the WC to try to identify those countries (based on the animals, people, landscapes, buildings, and cultural activities they see) that they were unfamiliar with in the first viewing. Following a second viewing of the film, ask the WC some follow-up questions: 1) "How does this film make you feel?" 2) "Would you like to make this type of trip?" 3) "The title of this short film is called 'Rise Up.' What do you think is the message of this short film? What is the director trying to say?"

Write on the WB "Turkey: Travel Itinerary." Elicit from the WC, if they were to recommend to a foreigner places they should visit, events they should go to, local food they should try in Turkey, what would they recommend? Write a few examples on the WB. Inform the Ss that their foreign teacher, me, would like to go on a holiday when the semester ends. Divide the WC into two categories (and groups of 4). One category will make recommendations for a winter vacation (in January/February) and the other category will make recommendations for a summer vacation (between June-Sept). "I am asking each and every group to come up with a travel itinerary for me. My holiday is going to be short. Only three days. But my holiday will be in Turkey. What do you recommend to me? I want a full itinerary from your group for next week's class. This should include... 1) Where am I going? 2) Why am I going there; what is so special about this place? 3) What do I need to pack? 4) Where am I staying? 5) What am I doing for the three days that I am there? 6) Are there any special events I should attend while there? 7) Any special food I should eat while there? 8) Etc. I would like each group to speak between 6-7 minutes--each person should speak for around 1.5 minutes." Allow the Ss the remainder of the lesson to prepare for their itinerary presentation next week. Write on the WB exactly what they need to talk about during next week's group project (reference the above list).
