I AM DAVID - TRAVELLING THROUGH ITALY

In our class novel, "I Am David", by Anne Holm, David is travelling through southern Italy at the moment, and is near the city of Naples.

YOUR TASKS:

1. On a photocopied map of Italy, label the main cities, and trace David's journey.  Here is the link to a printable map of Italy:

2. Research and write four 'wise facts' about each of the following:

1. Naples
2. Rome  
3. Vatican City
4. Florence
5. Venice

Here is the link to a good website for our learning about Italy, with maps, and facts about Italian geography, music and particularly its art.

If you wish to try a mosaic, you can use paper, or card bits on heavy card.  If you get really good at it, you could move on to tile mosaics on wood later on!
