Plan a Trip Project



Plan a Trip Project

You are planning a vacation/get-away for you and a friend. The trip should be between 5-7 days long and be at least 1000 miles round trip. Your trip you must have a minimum of two stops (you may make more stops if you want). For example if you want to go to Nashville, TN from there you may want to go to New York City, NY, and then you can plan the return trip from the second stop. (New York City to home).

1. Use Google Earth or Map Quest to find directions from your Ashburn to your first destination (you may drive a maximum of 8 hours per day).

2. When you get the directions on Google Earth to each destination, click “printable view” on the side toolbar.

3. Then print the directions and attach them to the back of the completed project document with directions from Home to Stop #1, Stop #1 to Stop #2, Stop # 2 to Home.

4. You will also need to use Google Earth to find towns to stop for food, and lodging (use the internet to find prices for, hotels, and restaurants for the town).

5. After you arrive at the first destination, you will list activities you plan to engage in (SCHOOL APPROPRIATE). With these activities you will need to use the internet to find prices for anything you need for the activity (i.e. sports/concert tickets, museum admission fees, etc.).

6. Repeat this step starting from the first destination on your way to the second stop including food, lodging, and activities again. Finally, start from the second destination and plan your route home again including food and lodging as necessary (with prices for that location).

7. There is a blank template for you to use on my website (under the Module 6 link). YOU HAVE TO USE THE TEMPLATE THAT IS PROVIDED!! DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE TEMPLATE!!

The project is worth 100 pts.
