This assignment was a trip to a Spanish speaking country, and I chose the Dominican Republic. We had a budget of $10,000 for the whole trip, and after you bought your airfare you had to convert it to their currency. You had to budget for accommodations (rental car & hotel) and meals. You had to include local slang, music, and 3 cultural sites to visit.
Why I chose this project
I chose to put this project in my portfolio because I am really proud of my planning. I really enjoyed imagining that I would be going on this amazing trip.
21st Century skill I used
For this project, I used informational skills because I had to do research to budget and plan out the trip so that I could have a nice trip. I had to find and cite all of my sources for the places I wanted to go, the food I wanted to eat, and the local slang.
Demonstration of Growth
This project shows my growth by presenting that I know how to do research. This also shows growth by my presentation skills have expanded.
How I could Improve
I could improve my project by making the slide show neater. I could also improve by for the food section finding cultural food instead of food I am used to.
