del clima del lugar que describe en su experiencia de viaje y dar algunas
recomendaciones sobre qué se debe tener en cuenta, de acuerdo con el
clima. d) Dar recomendaciones para planear un viaje al lugar que usted

Es necesario que usted haga los ejercicios de los contenidos en línea
que se relacionan al inicio de cada paso; de esta manera, podrá dar
cuenta de lo aprendido en los ejercicios de escritura que se proponen
en el proceso y así mismo en el producto final.

En cada etapa se señalan las partes de la unidad de los contenidos en

línea que usted debe trabajar, y se hace específico qué actividades debe
subir al foro. Es decir, no todas las actividades que se trabajan en los
contenidos en línea deben ser publicadas en el foro. Revise cuáles debe
publicar.
