DUE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2006

1. CHOOSE A CITY OR AREA OF A COUNTRY THAT YOU HAVE WANTED TO VISIT, BUT, HAVE NOT AS YET.

2. YOUR PROJECT WILL BE TO PRESENT A “VIRTUAL TOUR” OF THIS CITY, OR AREA OF A COUNTRY TO YOUR CLASSMATES.

3. YOUR PRESENTATION MUST BE A COMBINATION OF VISUAL, ORAL AND WRITTEN
INFORMATION.

4. YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

          1. WHY YOU WANT TO VISIT THIS PLACE
          2. THE LEAST EXPENSIVE WAY TO TRAVEL TO AND WITHIN THIS PLACE
          3. THE SITES YOU PLAN ON VISITING THAT ARE LOCATED IN THIS PLACE
          4. WHAT IS THE LOCAL “CUISINE”
          5. HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU NEED TO TRAVEL ROUNDTRIP AND SPEND
              ONE WEEK IN THE PLACE.
          6. WHAT IS THE EXCHANGE RATE FOR THE DOLLAR (IF YOU ARE TRAVELING
               OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES)
          7. USING THE ATTACHED SHEET, CHECK AND SEE IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TO
              AN AREA THAT OUR STATE DEPARTMENT BELIEVES IS “NOT SAFE”
          8. TAKE US ON A “ VIRTUAL SHOPPING TRIP” FOR MOMENTOES OF YOUR TRIP
               AND TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE SPENT. DO THE SAME WITH A “VIRTUAL
               LUNCH” YOU ARE HAVING AFTER THIS SHOPPING TRIP.
          9. PROVDE A STREET MAP OF THE PLACE YOU ARE VISITING AND MARK THE
              SITES THAT YOU HAVE VISITED.
        10. HAVE A GOOD TIME!

DOCUMENTATION:

1. PROVIDE THE NAMES OF THE TOUR BOOKS YOU HAVE USED (YOU MUST USE
A MINIMUM OF 2 TOUR BOOKS)

2. TELL US HOW YOU OBTAINED A PASSPORT (IF YOU ARE TRAVELING
OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

               3. TELL US WHAT HOTELS AND RESTUARANTS YOU WOULD RECOMMEND
                    TO US SHOULD WE WANT TO VISIT. (THIS SHOULD BE BASED ON VALUE
                    RECEIVED FOR THE MONEY AS WELL AS RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY
                    AUTHORS OF TOUR BOOKS)

                  4. VISIT A TRAVEL AGENCY AND ASK FOR INFORMATION THEY MAY HAVE
                    ON THE PLACE YOU WOULD LIKE TO VISIT. TELL THE AGENT ABOUT YOUR
                    PROJECT, AND IF THEY ARE ABLE TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME TALKING WITH
                    YOU , THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC!

PLAN AND ORGANIZE YOUR PRESENTATION. YOU SHOULD PRACTICE YOUR PRESENTATION BEFORE FAMILY MEMBERS. THIS MAY HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT QUESTIONS YOUR CLASSMATES MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS ALLOW FOR A MUCH MORE
“POLISHED” PRESENTATION

STUDENTS ARE TO HAND IN THE NAME OF THE PLACE THEY WILL VISIT BY
MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 2006.

PROJECTS ARE DUE ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2006
