1.4+NC+Geography+Project

**Due Date: Monday, September 8, 2014 **

**Purpose: ** The purpose of this project is to allow you to display your knowledge of geography skills and to put them to use. Your goal will be to use the knowledge that you have gained during our study of North Carolina in order to design and plan an education trip around the state.

**Method: ** 1. Using the packet of information provided in class or from research at home, you will pick one region of the state where you would like to travel on a trip. You will need to pick several places from that region that you would like to visit. The places need to be in a logical order around the State, from the same region, and educational. 2. You will create a detailed itinerary (schedule) that lays out your trip day by day. I want the trip to last three day and two nights. You need to include realistic travel times, names and locations of the places you are visiting, the route you are taking to reach a destination, and prices for the trip. Prices for will be a set standard for food and lodging, which are located at the bottom of the page. Prices for your educational stops will be based on real prices. Your total trip will need to be done on a budget of $550.00 or less per person. 3. To conclude the projects, each person or team will need to present their trip. The more detailed you are with the information, the better the project. Visuals will aid in the delivery of your material, but are not required. Also, you need to be able to explain a little about the places that you are going to visit. Some research and planning will need to take place on this part. · If you are completely uncomfortable with giving a presentation to the class you will need to come talk to me, and I will approve you to do the alternate assignment. The alternate assignment is a typed paper that tells me about your trip and the places that you will be visiting. **Additional Information: ** · You need to schedule 3 educational activities per day · Your start time each day will be no later than 9:00am · You will need to stop and eat 3 times each day · You need to pick lodging for the 2 nights and each night can be different · You need to pick one type of transportation and stick with it.
