In the Lesson Document there are Vocabulary lists for this reading. With your partners, identify the part of speech and write a definition for each word you were assigned. Then create an example sentence using that word. Some of the words have been done for you. After you have completed the vocabulary that you were assigned, read all the definitions that the other students wrote. Ask if you have any questions.
Open this link to read a short article about Victoria, British Columbia. When you are done reading, discuss the following questions with your partners.
- Have you visited Victoria? What did you do there?
- If you have visited Victoria, did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it?
- If you have not been to Victoria, would you like to go there to visit it? Why or why not?
- What do you like best, ‘city’ vacations or ‘country/beach/mountain’ vacations? Why would some people in Victoria say that it is a good place for both kinds of vacations?
- What are some examples in Victoria today of its British ancestry?
