2. Copy each article and paste it in a Word document. Do not forget to copy/past the URLs.
3. Highlight all the words you do not know.

Your task at hand is to find an interesting walk between the two landmarks given, and then decide who is going to talk about what. Each walk should last 1-1.5 hours. There will be some walking to do.

Walk 1. Hyde Park to Westminster Abbey

Christoffer, Drilona, Pontus, Elin

Walk 2. Big Ben to Trafalgar Square

Alva, Erik, Matilda, Ola

Walk 3. From Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square via Covent Garden

Henny, Fanny, Olivia, Shkurte

On Tuesday 22nd of September

Oscar will talk about the Imperial War Museum before we enter, and

Hilda will talk about the Globe Theatre before we see the play.

How to do this:

• Use maps on the internet to see what there is
• Do not just pick the shortest route. We have all afternoon to walk around.
• Everyone has to talk – at least a few minutes.
• Make it interesting. Do not just talk about buildings and statues, but also the people connected to them.
