I have a great activity for you this time. You will need to use some of your computer skills. Follow the directions below:

1. Imagine we are going to take a vacation next weekend.

2. Go to the following page:
http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-tourist-destination.html
Here you will find a map with the Top Ten tourist destinations in the world

3. Select one of the ten places and look for a map of the country. (You can use the maps on this page if you want).

4. Once you have the map, choose a city you would like to visit.

http://www.biography.com/

Type the name of the person you want info about and answer the questions from our workbook on page 84. Post some of the answers here.

Good luck!!
