Project: Plan a trip

You will have six days to plan an extensive trip to a Spanish Comunidad Autonoma. You must determine
who is going, where you will be staying, your budget for the trip, and a detailed plan for every day
(restaurants, tourist activities, etc).

Strategies: You may use your notes from class, video worksheet information, the travel guide books in
class, the internet, and other resources you can find. You must have a reference list with full citation of
all sources used. We will go to the computer lab at least one full day. You must turn in your references,
a rough draft, and your rubric (each will count 4 points towards your final grade).

Timeline:
Primer día ____________: PLANNING TIME You should decide on your Comunidad you wish to plan a
trip to. You should also decide what sites you think you want to visit, based on what you've seen in class
or other information you may know. Then get started !

Segundo día ___________: RESEARCH Take notes from travel books, articles, etc. Begin planning out
restaurants and tourist attractions that you will visit each day. A price should be included for every
activity you participate in (including lodging). Make a list of the places you plan to visit each day. You
need to find information about each of the sites you plan to visit, including its location, and what you
will see there. You need to visit a total of at least five places. At the end of the period tomorrow, you
should have all the basic information you need. A reference list should be organized and a copy turned
in to me as evidence of the work you've done at this stage.

Tercer día ___________: RESEARCH Continue researching. (See Segundo día). A reference list should
be organized and a copy turned in to me as evidence of the work you've done at this stage.

Cuarto día ___________: WRITING & MAPS Begin writing a blog/bio for each day of your trip in past
tense. You must write at least a paragraph about each place, explaining what the blogger experienced
and why they visited there. You must include a map of all places visited. Mark your plans for each day
on the city map with a different color highlighter for each day (lunes, martes, miércoles, etc.) Don’t
forget to make a key.

Quinto día ___________: WRITING & BUDGET (ROUGH DRAFT is DUE) Your budget should include lunch
and dinner as well as the entrance fees, subway tickets, souvenirs, and spending money you think you
will need. List everything in dollar and the currency of your country. For lunches, plan anywhere from 7
to 15 dollars and for dinners from 15 to 100 dollars, depending on how well you plan to eat. Your
ROUGH DRAFT is DUE to me at the end of class today.

Sexto día ___________: FINAL DRAFT You should have a slide/picture for each of the major sites you
visit. You may organize your presentation on a poster board or into a power point. The following
information must be included: a section/slide with a picture for each day of your trip, a blog in past
tense for each day, a map of all places visited (each day highlighted in a different color), and a detailed
budget totaled in dollars and currency of the country.

Séptimo día ___________: PRESENTATION You must present an outline/overview of your trip in
Spanish. Two of your favorite blogs must be included. You should be ready to answer any questions
about your presentation, including why you chose the sites on your visit.
