  • This display shall consist of, when completed, information about each participating country and school.
  • Each school needs to produce 7 posters about their country, 1 to be sent to each school.
  • Basic information to be included is: Population, capital, GDP 2000, area, currency (and converted into Euros).
  • Some information is to be written inside an outline map of their country. (size A1 – cut into the shape.)
  • Other information to be included comes from the results of a questionnaire carried out throughout your school.
  • There are 5 basic questions that must be included in this questionnaire:

 1)      Total number of students asked?

2)      How often did you go on holiday (2+nights) in 2002?

0 days

1-2 days

3-4 days

5-6 days

7+

3)      How many times did you travel abroad during 2002?

4)      To which countries did you travel?

5)      In which months did you travel?

 

·  Pupils can add other questions that they think will give them a good indication about tourism in their area.

·  is questionnaire should be designed by pupils aged 13-15 years.

·  All the information: Questionnaire results, graphs, tables, outline map, pictures etc needs to be sent to each school by 28th February 2003.

·  The information sent to each school should be for the finished display so when it is received at is ready to be put up.

·  It is suggested that a class of small groups work on the poster display completing the basic information about their country within the outlines so that you have 7 different maps. This saves on photocopying.
