Title: Day Trips from Pullman


1
Day Trips from Pullman
  • By
  • Jenny Baylon
  • Mark Eberhardt
  • Kefi Lewis
  • Deb Marsh

2
Is the Pullman area a recreational wasteland?
3
Our group says No!
  • There are all sorts of things to do and see in
    the Pullman area!

4
  • The purpose of our site is to show some of the
    many activities available to WSU students and
    people new to the Pullman area.

5
  • Our web site, titled Day Trips from Pullman,
    will provide four detailed day trip examples.
  • Where to go
  • What to see
  • What to eat
  • How much the trip will cost
  • How long it will take

6
  • In addition, our web site will provide general
    Pullman area information and links to other
    information sources.

7
  • Dont despair if you are staying in Pullman over
    the summer
  • You can have a wonderful time!

8
Why is the website needed?
  • There currently isn't a travel page catered
    toward WSU students and Pullman newcomers.
  • Summer is approaching.
  • People like picnics, sun tanning, getting out,
    and seeing new things.
  • Many people seem to be unaware of what this area
    has to offer.

9
What purpose will the creation of this website
fulfill?
  • This website will be focused toward students and
    newcomers looking for day trips.
  • It will highlight scenic local areas.
  • It will provide ideas for outdoor and indoor
    activities near Pullman.
  • This website will also improve the image of the
    Pullman area by letting people know how many
    recreational opportunities we have here.

10
Day Trips From Pullman Objective Statement
By highlighting daytrip ideas, this site will
introduce newcomers to many regional
opportunities for
  • Food
  • Dining
  • Arts
  • Culture
  • Entertainment
  • Sightseeing
  • Shopping
  • Recreation

11
Our audience newcomers.
  • These are not necessarily only WSU students but
    rather anyone new to Pullman.
  • It could also include people of all ages who have
    been in the area for a while, but who havent
    taken the opportunity to explore.

12
  • Usually the best-kept secrets of a region are not
    gleaned from typical resources such as books,
    newspapers, and the web.
  • This is especially true of a small, rather rural
    region. The good stuff is often learned by word
    of mouth.

13
  • Our team will attempt to fill this information
    gap. We will introduce you to the good stuff by
    way of the back door.

14
We will divide the area into four obvious
regions where we will conveniently share many of
the fun and diverse things to see and do.We
will give directions and provide information on
  • Appropriate apparel
  • Links
  • And well show you many web-friendly photos!
  • Food
  • Costs
  • Timing
  • Weather

15
  • For example, you might have heard someone mention
    the Snake River. Well, the Snake River is many
    miles long. Where do you go, what route do you
    take, what is there to do?
  • Grandma and Grandpa might not be thrilled with
    the Dunes. The Dunes is a wonderful example of
    the geology of the Palouse, but depending on the
    time frame, they might think they were at Miami
    Beach on spring break! We will share that type
    of information here.

16
Specifics to meet

17
Welcome the audience and state the purpose of the
site
  • Pullman and the surrounding areas provide many
    fun and diverse things to do and see.
  • These opportunities have been captured and
    conveniently presented for you here.

18
Introduce the reader to Pullman and the regions
surrounding Pullman.
  • Define and display the regions surrounding
    Pullman for organizational/navigational purposes.
  • (Note Well talk about this in more detail later
    in the presentation.)

19
Narrate example day trips and/or possibilities
from each region.
  • In each example, discuss these factors food,
    costs, time, clothing, weather, what to wear.
  • In each narrative, provide
  • area maps
  • directions
  • mileage estimates
  • 1-2 images of selected destinations
  • links to general resources, online maps, etc.

20
Methods or Process

21
  • Each person in the group is responsible for a
    particular daytrip. They will research and write
    their own section, based on a particular model.
  • Kefi Lewis Pullman
  • Jenny Baylon Spokane and vicinity
  • Mark Eberhardt Southeastern Washington,
    including Palouse Falls
  • Deb Marsh Northern Idaho

22
  • Our site will have some similar features to the
    Travel Portland site, especially the daytrip
    section. Heres a look at what theyve done with
    daytrips
  • http//www.travelportland.com/visitors/daytrips/ho
    od.html
  • Overall, their site offers many things that we
    are unable to do in the time we have. Deb will
    show you later exactly what we have planned.

23
  • Heres a site that shows a couple of daytrips
    from the Pullman area. However, the overall site
    has a different purpose (promoting the entire
    Northwest regions outdoor activities). Our site
    will provide not only outdoorsy information, but
    also ideas on indoor activities (arts, dining,
    shopping, etc.), and we will only cover the
    greater Pullman area.
  • http//www.northwestoutdoors.com/

24
  • I think our site will be better than either of
    the ones we just saw because it wont have any
    advertising!

25
  • Besides dividing up regions, weve divided up
    some of the overall work.
  • Each person provided information for part of this
    Site Proposal, then I organized the PowerPoint
    presentation.
  • Deb has done the storyboard, again, with input
    from everyone.
  • Kefi and Mark will do more of the actual website
    work, with each of us providing information on
    our region and daytrip.

26
Evaluation Criteria
  • Does the site provide useful information? Note
    Our goal is not to tell everything about the
    region, but to provide ideas. Specifically, does
    our site detail four interesting day trips and
    provide some regional information?
  • Is the site clear and well organized?
  • Will some people enjoy the Pullman area more
    after seeing our site?
