Seville Monuments

Next 24th of April we will visit the center of Seville and act as tour guides trying to show the tourists our most beautiful monuments. You will go in groups of 4. Each member of the group will have to give information about a monument. You will ask them information about the monument too. You will use a camera to film everything and take photos for a video you will have to create by May 7th about this school trip.

You will give every tourist a bookmark with an image of a monument and a sentence in English which can be: a quote, a slogan a small poem like a haiku, etc.

Here is the list of monuments in Seville you can show:
