Travel Planning

Lesson 7: Research- Activities

Arts and Culture

Using your number 5 then 4 Arts and Culture preferences, try some of the basic keywords and links. On the same piece of paper that you did the previous exercise, write the “Arts and Culture”. Jot down your 5 and 4 preferences and any appropriate links.

In the comments section of the Activity Questions Links Form, write down any useful information such a specific museum. Continue searching from general to specific links. In other words, start searching for theaters in London and eventually find that Les Miserables is playing while you are in London. Feel free to go beyond the links below to sites that more specifically suit your preferences. Share your new keywords and links with others on the discussion board.

Keywords
