The picture above shows the famous Itsukushima Shrine, which all of you know. But did you know that it is within a national park? It's in Setonaikai National Park. Have you ever been there? If you have been to Itsukushima Shrine, then you have been to a national park.
Do you know where these places are? These are pictures from national parks in different countries. Can you guess which countries they are in?
Talk about these places with your classmates! What are some things you think you could see or do in these places?
For the writing and composition students - after you talk, choose two (2) of these places and write about the things you believe you can see or do in them.
