You've got mail!

See you email for a worksheet that I'd like you to fill in individually.

Chat-task?

With your partner, you are going to plan a holiday for both your families using WhatsApp to communicate.

You interviewed your family members, so you have to keep their preferences (voorkeuren) in mind. 

Chat-task?

With your partner, you are going to discuss your families' preferences when it comes to going on holiday.

That means that you have to make compromises and reach decisions.

Chat-task?

Together, you need to decide:

1. Where you're going.

2. How you're going to get there.

3. The kind of place you'll be staying at (cabin, airbnb, hotel etc.)

4. Three activities that you'll be doing with both families.

Chat task?

You have max. 20 minutes to complete the chat-task together.

When you are done, raise your hand and I'll tell you the next step.

Rules

1. Chats need to be in ENGLISH!
2. You can look up words on an online dictionary.
3. There's no talking at all (since you're chatting).
4. If I see anything else going on on your phone, you're out.
5. You only chat with your chosen partner... nobody else.
6. If there are technical difficulties, let me know.

Get chatting!

Plan a holiday for both your families.
Discuss all preferences of your family members:

1. The location of your trip.

2. The transportation you will be using
.

3. The kind of place you will be staying at (cabin/resort/Airbnb/campsite).

.

Raise your hand when you're done!
