Great Pyramids Eiffel Tower Ca' Rezzonico Egypt Paris Venice, Italy Overview|Introduction|Questions|Process|Resources|Evaluation| Conclusion Questions and the Task From the list of locations (Great pyramids in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower In Paris, and the Ca' Rezzonico museum In Venic), your classroom's task is to select the one field trip location that will serve your classroom best all-around. To do this, you must take into consideration if/how the field trip is educational, how much the activity will cost and how you will travel in the given location. In order to accomplish your task, you will first be put in groups of three. Each person in every group of three will be assigned a specific role to ensure that the best field trip location is selected. Among your group members you may either play the role of the Tour Guide, the Travel Agent, or the Field Researcher. Before we send your classroom off overseas, your group will have to work together and ask each other: Which location seems the most Interesting? Which field trip will cost the most In U.S dollars? Which location seems like it's the most educational? How will we travel around the country and how what type of currency will we use? Answering all of these questions is important because we will not be able to send you on this wonderful field trip unless you convince your parents of why it will benefit your education, within your budget. You must all work together in order to efficiently complete this task, however remember that sometimes the least costly trip will not be the most educational, and be sure to observe any other conflicts that may arise.
