http://www.chicagonow.com/life-one-post-at-a-time/2015/06/project-me-foster-children-a-simple-wish-a-simple-bag/
It’s official! You’ve chosen your country and bought your ticket. Now it’s time to pack for the big adventure! Think about where you are going and what the weather is going to be like when you arrive next week.
Activity 1
To find out more about the weather in your chosen country log onto the Accu Weather website [http://www.accuweather.com]. Type the name of the capital city of your country into the search bar. It will tell you what the weather is going to be like in your country of choice. On your blog, provide a five day forecast for the weather in the capital city of your chosen country.

Activity 2
Before you start packing your suitcase you will want to create a list of everything that you will need to bring with you. Most airlines let you bring one big suitcase with you so you’ll have to think carefully about what you want to bring…
On your blog site, post a list of everything that you need to pack for your trip. Put a star (*) beside the 5 items that you think are the most important.
Clothes, shoes (Clothes that are suitable for the weather climate in Germany*)
Guide book*
Passport, Money, credit cards*
If you are on medications or anything (Medicine)*
Toiletries*
Family ;)
Phone, Camera

Hi Luisa,
This is really great work! I don't know if you can see the same thing as me, but I can't see your bonus activity here.
Apart from that, I think your list of things to bring is very well thought through. I usually include medicine in my toiletries, so what else would you bring if you did that?
You know I am a teacher, so would you mind if I taught you a little something about how we measure temperature?
A long time ago, a Polish scientist invented the scale of Fahrenheit, using equal parts salt and water to make the temperature of 0 degrees on the thermometer (which was a 200 year old invention at that point, but he made a new version which used mercury - which made it more accurate). Then he used the average human temperature to make the high point of 96 degrees. And that is how the thermometer was marked so people could say what the temperature was. Sounds a bit strange, right?
Celsius, our measurement, was made because a scientist thought 'Fahrenheit is illogical. Salt water, human body heat? What do they have to do with anything? Why don't we just use the freezing and boiling points of something easy, like water?' and so he made ANOTHER scale on thermometers called degrees Celsius!
And that's what we use today! So, 0 degree Celsius is when it is so cold that water freezes, and 100 degrees Celsius is when water boils. Cool eh? In Fahrenheit those are 32 and 212. Such random numbers!
I know that the website probably automatically went to Fahrenheit because it is an American one, but there will be a button you can hit next time to change it.
Anyways! Keep up the great work! I hope my little story was interesting!
Kia kaha,
Mark
