Process
There are several parts to this Webquest and Discovering China Activity.
Part I: For the first portion of this Webquest, students will work together in groups of four. Each group member will be responsible in finding out information that will assist in making the plans for the traveling family.
-Transportation: This person will be responsible for finding out information regarding the travel aspects of the trip.
-Banker: This person will be responsible for making sure that the group maintains the budget of the traveling family. This person will have to use the resources in making sure that money is being spent in the right places.
-Family Contact Representative: This person will be responsible for making sure that all the family's requests are being met. This person will make sure the group has included everything in the final travel schedule.
-Event Specialist: This person will find interesting places, events, landmarks that the family will visit during their stay in China.
Here are several resources that can assist you in your planning your travel agency. These resources can also help you in planning the trip to China.
Part II: After the group has assigned the roles, each person must work on finding information about their responsibilities using the available resources to complete the requirements.
Use the available websites and videos to find information that will be useful in making the travel brochure about China as well as the travel schedule for the family. As a reminder, please refer to the task page for a list of the items that should be included in the travel schedule.
Part III: After all of the information has been collected, thirdly the group must now create aspects that deal with the travel agency and the travel plans for the family while in China.
As an entire group, you will formally create the following:
-A name and any information about your group's travel agency. You will design the ad, using the poster board the teacher will provide.
- A travel brochure, highlighting any information about China you may found in your research. Some things may be a brief history, the people, landmarks, and interesting facts.
-A travel schedule for the family to follow while on their trip in China.
Your group must be prepared to present your findings to the class when all is completed.
Good Luck!
