There are three extracts here which look at traveling to various places over winter (Geneva, Ireland, and Portugal). This is followed by four reading tasks and three writing tasks. This was originally set as cover work and can be completed independently, and is at least three lessons of work. It was created for year 8 but is appropriate across Key Stage 3. Furthermore, students would not have needed to study travel writing in order to complete this work. Both the .pdf and word document are included in the download.

The tasks are:

Simple list four things tasks (information retrieval)
A grid asking students to extract information (quotation retrieval)
A comparison task looking at how the holidays are different
An opinion task which gets students to explain where they would rather spend their Christmas.
The writing tasks are varied between using the images to complete a descriptive piece, writing their own blog on Christmas in their hometown or a persuasive speech explaining where they want to spend their Christmas.

A simple and easy stand-alone resource.
