Summer Learning Journey - Day 6

DAY 6/22nd December

Activity 1

Once you have read these phrases you will be ready to leave the airport and head to your hotel. Take a moment and imagine how you might feel if you were standing in the airport in a foreign country and you had to figure out how to communicate with people in a brand new language. Would you be scared? Would you feel confident? Write a short poem that describes how you might be feeling (i.e. excited, happy, scared, nervous, etc).

Confused, scared really really nervous  

I need translator oh no, there's no service

Better try late. Sorry Sorry I don't understand  

I just haven't been to your land

Only if you were Japanese

Oh no I really really need to sneeze  

Wait she doesn't even know what I'm saying

Oh no I better, I better start praying

Come on CHERISE just be brave

Maybe I should just Wave

Oh my gosh I feel like I might just die

Okay man up just wave GOOD BYE

Activity 2

Take a selfie that captures how you might be feeling. I think that I would most likely be feeling scared.

If I was in a situation where there was someone who talked to me in a language I don't know I think that I would be confused and really really nervous
