Presentation TaskPresentation Task Your task is to finish off imagining you are a holiday rep, but
your holidays are to other planets. You need to come up with a brochure of one of the planets, and describe what it is going to be like for a sightseer to visit
What should they pack (can they breathe there); what is the terrain like; is it hot or cold; how long will it take to get there etc…
As a group, you’ll present your chosen planet to the class - be original!
