The aim of this activity is to have students talk about their past and present events/experiences. With this
activity, it is also aimed to raise students’ cultural and historical awareness about Turkey.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on page 120
The reading text on page 121
The teacher photocopies the worksheet for each group and then hands them out.

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of four and give each group a worksheet to study on.
2 Ask students to take a glance at the items in the worksheet and to write sentences about what the
people might have experienced in these places.

E.g. Berisha has ridden a hot-air balloon in Göreme, Nevşehir.

3 Tell students to write as many sentences as possible for each place. While carrying out the task, they
are allowed to browse the Internet to search for information about the places given. Monitor and
guide them while browsing the Internet.
4 When students have finished, the teacher displays the reading texts on the interactive whiteboard.
Have each group check how many of the landmarks and activities mentioned in the texts these five
people (Berisha, Diego, Adele, Takashi, Emily) have experienced. For each correct matching, ask
students to give a random applause.
