This is your chance to help kids have input in next year s family vacation. The Monroe Travel Centre is developing a Teen to Teen Canadian trip. In groups of two, students will plan a three-week trip to a destination of their choice in Canada. Following the completion of their itinerary and brochure, The Monroe Travel Centre will display the tourist brochures in their agency for the community to use when planning a trip to Canada. Given a road map, the students will demonstrate how to unfold and refold it neatly, use the key or legend to distinguish highway numbers from distances, and follow a highway or combination of highways from one point to another.
Students use the Internet to find accommodations and possible sights for each day of the trip.
Students will use current exchange rates to convert Canadian and American currencies. Students will develop a budget to be used on their trip. The Internet will be used to find current places to visit, see, and enjoy as well as current costs for lodging. It will also be used to find daily exchange rates between the United States and Canada. This technology is being used because it is much easier than looking all this information up in a book.
