Travel Planner

Included: .pdf and .doc files, evaluation rubric, Excel spreadsheet. 8 pages, in 2 formats.

This unit involves planning a vacation (or tour or trip or adventure) to a country of your choice, somewhere outside North America. Assume that you have two weeks and $5000 at your disposal. You can go wherever you like, but you can’t stay in all-inclusive resorts. You can travel at any time of the year. When you get to your destination you must go to at least two towns or cities and visit their most famous features (natural, cultural, recreational etc.).

A spreadsheet has been included to help with budgeting. Each time you add an item, the spreadsheet will give you a running total of the funds remaining to you.

Originally designed as an online unit. The .doc files are included so that modifications can be made if you'd like to convert to a paper assignment.

Depending on the grade and skill level of your students this unit will take between five and ten classes.
