FAQ

1. Which character should we choose?

Ans: The group must decide on ONE character that everyone or the majority likes.

2. Where do we send this character?

Ans: Anywhere you like, the more exotic the better.

For eg, how about Alaska, Greenland, The Amazon, Spain or the Moon even.

3. What must the character do there?

Ans: You MUST decide on several activities for your character. For eg, Miss Trunchbull and Miss Honey will do very different things in Spain. Miss Trunchbull might go bull-fighting but Miss Honey might prefer to learn how to do a Latin Dance using castanets. All the activities that your character will do must conform to the type of person he or she is.

4. How do we decide on the activities or schedule?

Ans: Go to the Internet and do a net search on the activities that the country has to offer. You need to collect at least ONE travel brochure or pamplet from any travel agency for any country or destination. You might like to ask your parents to help you here or ask your parents for any old ones that they might have. Use this brochure as an example for YOUR OWN.

5. Anything else?

Ans: NO. Just bring one empty box per group - a mobile phone box, shoe box etc and ONE pamphlet to school for Literature class. Please remember to bring your sketch book as well.
