Welcome to your travel summative!

We’re finally here … our T&T summative! I wanted you to embark on a project that would be meaningful and interesting, and may even provide a pathway for you to plan a REAL trip in the very near future.

Scenario
As a budget traveler, you are planning your own independent trip (either solo or with a friend) to travel to your dream destination during the summer of 2010. You can be travelling anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months … the choice is yours. Many of you will venture to one country, while some of you will visit a few.

Many travellers keep their friends and family informed of their travels by creating their own travel blogs. This will be the format for our course summative (no more posters!) and the method by which I will evaluate your work. This blog is a little different because your theme will be a Trip Planner to include all of the information you’ll need to prepare for your adventure.

Consult your assignment sheet for instructions about how to create your own blog using blogger.com

Your assignment sheet also has the checklist of information you need to include in your blog.

Please remember to sign up as a follower to my blog so that I can check your daily progress. Any questions you have ... feel free to post them here.


Bon voyage ... good luck, and HAVE FUN!!!
