3. Prepare the comparison chart on each country. Your textbook is an excellent source for beginning your research. Mr. Stoelting will be showing you how to take your information and put it in excel

4. Complete your planning organizers. Phrases are fine.

5. You will now keep a day by day journey. Begin on Day One with how you happened to win this trip. Are you going alone? With some one? A group? Write your diary in Word. Once it is edited, spell checked, etc. You may paste it into your wiki, Include at least one picture or video for each day of your visit.

6. In each country you need to explain a little Geography, Culture, History, Economy of the country or the specific place you are visiting. You may "fit it into" your diary by stating you did a little research, were told about it on a tour or from a native, etc. Some information such as geography and culture may be observable or experienced.
