Remeber, you can always find your own websites through search engines like google, yahoo, altavista, or msn.
By this point in your webquest, you should have decided who has what job, figured out each person's budget, and decided on where you are sending the family on vacation. You should also have figured out each of your daily activities. Make sure to remember you are putting this information into a brocure for the family, so start organizing your information for that.
You will make a tri-fold brocure to give to the family you have designed the trip for. Your brocure will include specifics about airfare, hotels, food and resturants, and car rentals. Your information about the vacation should be well organized and the layout should make visually make sense (ex. the front of the brocure should say where the family is going and when). The brocure should be attractive and appealing. You will be graded according to the rubric.
