Wisconsin Vacation Planning

• You are going to plan a vacation! You and a
  friend will be traveling around our great state
  of Wisconsin.
• A road map and the Wisconsin Official Travel
  Guide will be used to plan your vacation. (You
  may choose your season based on the events you
  wish to enjoy.)

3
Guidelines

• You will be gone a total of 5 days and 4 nights.
• Meals, lodging, travel, and entertainment will
  need to be planned, as will the cost of these
  items.

4
Guidelines

• Record your choices in your expense packet. Then
  figure the total cost per day. Add each day's
  totals to determine the Grand Total spent.

5
Guidelines

• You have 1500 to spend. You cannot spend more
  than this amount. If you spend less, you may
  record the amount that you will be able to spend
  on souvenirs on the appropriate line at the end
  of this project. Good luck, and HAVE FUN!

6
Food

• Spend no less than 20 per day per person (this
  totals 40 for the two of you.)
• You may divide this any way that you want for
  each day. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner,
  and any snacks that you eat during the day/night.
  

7
Lodging

• Hotel Choose your location (name and place).
  Record the price (If there is a range of prices,
  given, record the highest price.
• Camping You may camp for not more than 2 of the
  four nights you are gone. Figure an average of
  20 per camp site per night.
• Bed Breakfast Choose the location (name and
  place) Record the price. (Record the higher price
  of the range.) You may take 10 off the price if
  you consider this to be your breakfast place and
  cost the next morning.

8
Entertainment

• Plan to attend at least one event/location per
  day. You must attend at least 5 events/locations
  during your 5 day stay. If an event has a price
  of admission you must list this in your budget.

9
Travel

• You may travel to different cities in Wisconsin
  or you may stay in the same city. Figure your
  mileage by adding the distances between cities as
  found on a map. Then multiply the number of miles
  times 0.24 per mile to find the cost of moving
  around.

10
Assessment

• Student assessment/reflection of own work
• Accurate Mathematical calculations on the
  worksheet
• Production of the photo album/scrap book

11
Photo Album/Scrap Book

• You will give a day by day account of your
  vacation. You should include pictures, words,
  maps, descriptions of what you saw and why you
  chose it as part of your vacation.

12
Scrapbooks

• You need to have at least one page per day of
  your vacation. Mrs. Fredricks will help you
  create a blank scrapbook.
