World Geography ~ European Vacation

Your next major assignment is to plan a budget-minded trip to Europe. You'll be there (hypothetically) for 10 days, including air travel to and from your destination. Imagine you host a travel show, and the network is paying for the air fare (you'll pick the time and place); you've been budgeted $1000 ($100/day) to cover everything else.

Please include the following in your report:
  1. Cover Page -- Include a title, your name, the course, and the due date.
  2. Introduction -- Summarize your trip in an introductory paragraph, and include a map of the area you plan to travel. Trace your route with a highlighter.
  3. Itinerary -- Include a list of dates, locations, transportation, and lodgings.
  4. Attractions/Activities -- Include a description of at least six sites you will visit. Write a paragraph, and use maps, illustrations and/or photos to aide in your description.
  5. Budget -- All money spent should be accounted for. Include an itemized list of expenses. Include at least the following:
    1. Food
    2. Lodging
    3. Transportation
    4. Admission Fees
    5. Surplus/Souvenirs
  6. Research -- All information must be backed up with research. Include a list of sources (and web addresses) at the end of the paper. Summarize all information; parenthetical citation is not necessary.
Use headings to indicate sections, and double-space (or one and one-half) for clarity.

Your report is due Friday 3/2.

As always, please use complete sentences and cite frequently from the text.
