The procedure of the lesson:
- The students, entering the classroom, are divided into 2 groups at the beginning of the lesson. This division can be done by offering the students sweets of 2 different colours.
- On the desks for each group there is a map of Old Riga, a text about Old Riga (almost all information necessary for the task fulfilment can be found in this text), an envelope with the names of the streets in Latvian and English, an envelope with a letter.
- Using the map of Old Riga the students match the names of the streets in Latvian and in English, find them in the map and if they know, they tell what isor was situated in these streets.
- The students receive a certain name of the street for the group and have to show (act) this name to the other group with the help of pantomime, so that they could guess this name.
- On the board there is a slide show of the main architectural and historical monuments. The task is to identify them in Latvian, Russian and English and give some interesting information about them (the more details, the better).
- The students in the groups represent tourist agencies. They have received letters from their customers asking for an individul excursion tour.The students have to work out a special route about Old Riga based on the information from the letter. The main idea is to give arguments about the choice of places while presenting the tour.
- If the time allows, there are some specific questions making the students scan the text carefully to find details necessary for the answers.
- Self assessment. It is based on the scale of colours. Each student chooses a certain colour for him/herself:
YELLOW – the topic is so interesting, that I would like to learn more !
GREEN – now I can guide an excursion about Old Riga myself.
BLUE – I can tell only about some landmarks(places of interest).
RED – I have learnt much new at the lesson, but I cannot share my knowledge
with others, as I need more practice.
- Drawing conclusions: What have you learnt? What have you managed today?

The letters from the customers for the tourist agencies :
Letter 1
We like history very much. We take photos of architectural monuments, old buildings and beautiful streets. My parents know much about the medieval times and knights. My father is a sailor, and he loves the sea and painting. My brother likes adventures and everything unusual. He is a student of Medical Institute.
I would like to get on top of a very tall building to look at the city from above. I like visiting museums, only if it is possible to do something there, it is boring just to look at the objects.
Also it is great to try national food after a long interesting walk.
Monika
Letter 2
When we come to other countries it is great, if we can take par tin some activity or discover something new for us. My husband is interested in history and war time events. I am fond of music and I like everything beautiful.
My children love playing different games, especially when they can put on fancy-dress costumes. My daughter enjoys making something with her own hands. My son is very sporty.
It is always interesting to know how people lived and what they did many years ago.
In the evenings, walking about the town, we usually try local delicious desserts and cakes.
