Planning Spring Break

 

 

Introduction:

 

This activity is designed for a high school level English class.  The students need to become more familiar with the Internet, how to access web sites, and surfing for information; therefore, I have a proposed a situation of interest to them, so using the Internet will be fun!

 

The situation: You and 5 friends are planning your spring break trip!!  Your budget is unlimited, but you must do all of the planning.  Think about where you want to go, where you’ll stay, how you’ll get there, what you’ll do, etc.
