Welcome P6/7 to our virtual tour of mainland Spain. There's only one problem - it hasn't been written yet! That's the challenge!

 * __As an individual:__**


 * Choose a destination you wish to research from the red titles on the left
 * Click edit on your desired page and leave a brief note to let others know you are away researching this place (do **not** post your name please). This will prevent others researching the same destination
 * Begin to write your wiki, based on the research you are doing. Remember to put your thoughts and findings into your own words without resorting to using cut and paste.
 * Have a think how you could make your wiki page more interesting to your reader
 * Begin to make/find copyright free resources to support this and bring them into your page (if in doubt ask a teacher)
 * Customise your own wiki page any way you wish
 * Remember to help and support others as this is easy on a wiki - remember you are able to alter most things on a wiki so working together has never been easier
 * Use the information that will be available to you via glow learn to help you with your wiki


 * __As a class:__**
 * All destinations in the wiki to be researched and completed by 30th May 2009 (this will allow us to link the pages into a type of quest/game)
 * Make good use of your language strategies to produce quality writing on your wiki page (punctuation, good choice of words, paragraphing etc)
 * Support each other with technical skills, either by use of the wiki discussion board or by collaboration in class
 * Enjoy!


 * __Main Draft Learning Intentions covered:__**
 * I have worked with others to read and discuss simple texts in the language I am learning. I can share simple facts about features of life in some of the countries where the language I am learning is spoken. ** LAN 260MF **
 * I can use my notes and other types of writing to help me understand information and ideas, explore problems, make decisions, generate and develop ideas or create new text. I recognise the need to acknowledge my sources and can do this appropriately. **LIT 224AB**
 * By considering the type of text I am creating, I can select ideas and relevant information, organise these in an appropriate way for my purpose and use suitable vocabulary for my audience. **LIT 225AC**
 * Having evaluated my work, I can adapt and improve, where appropriate, through trial and error or by using feedback. **TCH 208D**
 * Acting safely and responsibly, I can select and make effective use of a range of different technologies to communicate and collaborate. ** TCH 211F **
 * I can create, capture and manipulate sounds, text and images to communicate experiences, ideas and information in creative and engaging ways. **TCH 212G**
 * As I extend and enhance my knowledge of features of various types of software, including those which help find, organise, manage and access information, I can apply what I learn in different situations. ** TCH 213H **
 * Throughout all my learning, I can use search facilities of electronic sources to access and retrieve information, recognising the importance this has in my place of learning, at home and in the workplace. ** TCH 214H **
 * Using appropriate software, I can work collaboratively to design a game to help others learn. ** TCH 215J **
 * I explore and experiment with the features and functions of computer technology and I can use what I learn to support and enhance my learning in different contexts. ** TCH 216K **
