Today we looked at famous landmarks in Paris.

We were given some research materials, and in our TALKING PARTNERS we had to discuss the attractions and detractions of each landmark. We then had to rank them in order of preference, and give reasons for our decisions. This generated a lot of discussion. We also used a lot of COMMUNICATION SKILLS.

We thought that the Louvre would be an interesting destination as many of us would like to see the Mona Lisa. Some of us thought that we would not be very interested in such a big museum.


Lots of us were fascinated by the thought of climbing the Eiffel Tower.
Ioan wants to see if it really does sway in a strong wind!


We would like to visit the Champs Elysees as it is one of the most famous streets in the world. It has many cafes and restaurants and luxury shops.

We would love to visit Notre Dame as many of us have seen the film and would like to meet Quasimodo!

Sacre Coeur would interest us as it is at the highest point of the city and has wonderful views.

Euro Disney was a favourite! Almost everyone would like to visit this theme park.

The Arc De Triomphe honours people who have fought for France. Many of us liked the idea of seeing it illuminated by night in the middle of a huge roundabout!
