Did you say Paris??? Allons-y!!!!

The students will have a travel day on either end of the trip, and they will spend five full days in Paris, departing New York's LaGuardia Airport on May 24th and returning May 30th.  Currently, the students are trying to decide which places they want to see and what they want to do so they can make the most out of their experience. Your job is to offer them fantastic, adventure-filled opportunities for this trip!

For this assignment, you will need to research various activities, locations, and monuments in Paris (or in close proximity to Paris). Remember, these students hope to fully experience, reinforce, and apply what they have learned about French culture and history.

You will work in groups of five, with each student taking on one of the following roles from the travel agency:

• Transportation Coordinator 
• Lodging & Accommodations Coordinator
• Activities Coordinator
• Dining Coordinator
• Media Specialist (assists with providing photographs to support the research and drafting itineraries)

Once you have completed your research, you will create a PowerPoint presentation assembling this information in one place.  It will contain pictures, captions, and details on the various options available to the students along with a sample itinerary.  You will be meeting with them in one week to present their options.

PowerPoint Information:

• The PowerPoint will be shared with the class.   A list of websites is available to you (in the following section) as you begin your research; however, you are welcome to utilize (and cite) additional sites and resources.
