This webquest will guide students through planning and budgeting a trip to Japan while exploring the cultures and cuisine of the country. The students will prepare a presentation about their itinerary for a family of four with a budget of $12000 and thereby explore the complexities of planning an all inclusive itinerary.

Teacher Introduction

 When I first thought of this Webquest, I primarily intended it for a mathematics classroom, as making a budget for an international trip can be very mathematical. And though it still uses a lot of mathematics, I eventually decided to make it about explore aspects of culture through a virtual trip. As such this Quest became more interdisciplinary. Any aspect of the Quest can be emphasized or deemphasized for a particular class or classroom.
