Road Trip in the USA

Rättviksskolan, Rättvik · Senast uppdaterad: 31 oktober 2018

Road Trip in USA

You will go on a road trip in a part of the USA. On this trip you will visit your starting location and 2-3 other states/places/cities/national parks in close proximity to your starting place. At each location you visit you need to partake in at least two activities.

Within this assignment you are tasked to create:

  • A written travel log
  • A key note presentation of the "highlights" of your itinerary

Possible starting points – choose one of the following

New York, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Anchorage, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, Nashville, Las Vegas, Washington

Some things to keep in mind

  •           In this task you are all presumed rich. Money is not a problem. Unless you want it to be. That adds an additional challenge.
  •           You travel between your destinations by car. Since money is no problem, it can be any car. You decide.
  •          Your trip will last a week, seven days.
  •           You may not travel further away than 750 kilometres from your starting point
  • Pictures adds color to your presentations - find menues, timetables etc to enhance your communication (borrow them from other parts of the world if need be)

                Getting there – How will you get there?

o   Airline tickets, airline.

 

·             Where are you staying?

o   Hotel, B&B, Hostel…?

o   Needs to be mentioned at each stop

 

·           Activities

o   Each place you visit needs to have at least two activities that you try/visit.

§  It can be anything from famous sights, sports events, national parks, museums, shopping centres etc.

 

·           History

o   I also want you to tell about a historic event, connected to one of the places you visit.

 

·          Comparison

o   I want you to try and make some comparisons between USA and Sweden.

§  Examples: school, politics, sports, food, cars, traditions, holidays, nature, climate/weather, stereotypes, do’s and don’ts (what is ok and what is not)

 

·         Going home – Of course you need to go home as well.

o   Find an airport to fly home to Stockholm from. It does not have to be the same one you arrived at.
