What did I forget?

• Did I list everything on my rubric?– Meals– Hotels– Activities– Pictures

• Could you read my slides?• Did I know enough about my country?

– Did I tell enough about my country? • What could have made this more interesting?

Oops!

• In my original I forgot—– To tell a little more about my country—

• Where it’s located• What it’s climate/weather is like• Info about its history• Any other cool facts

– To explain some of my activities • I wouldn’t need to actually put them on a slide, but I would need to

talk about them during the show– How much my trip costs! What’s the bottom-line for this tour?– Did I elaborate on meals/local food?

• Not on the slide so I had better talk about that too during the presentation—

– EGAD! The show is boring because transitions and special effects like sounds or animation are missing!!

Cost breakdown:

• Air travel: $691• Rail travel: $359• Accommodation: $876• Meals: $370• Activities/site fees: $118• Miscellaneous: $500

• Trip total: $2894
