National icons: a webquest, blogging project?

A cup of tea, a national icon... Not so the Digestive biscuit (yet!)

Among the Yahoo headlines this morning, "Underground map and red telephone boxes become English icons".

The website www.icons.org.uk has a long list of "England's best-loved things" -- including cheddar cheese, a cup of tea, The Archers, Dr Who and fish and chips. You want to suggest another, you can...

Apart from the possibility of using the site (and others) for a webquest, you could probably build an interesting blog project on the same idea -- the things that your learners regard as being icons for their own country.

Note the "what is an icon" section.
