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: Rail travel: Accommodation: Meals: Activities/site fees: Miscellaneous: • Trip total: $691 $359 $876 $370 $118 $500 $2894
