Traveler or tourist?

Activity type: Large-group activity

Time: 15–20 minutes

Preparation:  Click here to download the activity sheet. Print it out. Photocopy and cut out one quote for each student.

Procedure: Divide the class into groups of six to eight students. Give each student a travel quote. Tell students to read the travel quotes and deal with any unknown vocabulary that may arise. Explain that they should share their quotes with the group and discuss possible meanings. Ask students to say whether they agree or disagree with each quote – and why.

Option: When students finish sharing and analyzing the quotes, ask them to discuss the differences between being a "traveler" and being a "tourist."
