  13. Semester Projects • Every chapter, they add to the locations and what they visit • Once they have all locations and pieces they can make a tour • Place tour file on line for peer review • Present the tour in class for 3-5 minutes in groups • Use Hypersnap to create a slide show if tour is too tech heavy.

  14. In Groups • Find a location of interest • You are looking for a place to live during your study abroad experience. You have three days. Include the following: • Activities for fun (seeing a movie, visiting a landmark, where you will eat, etc..) • Path for walking from one location to another for one of the days • Why did you pick that location? • Find housing for you and some roommates.
