About the Learning Experience

Step into the role of a travel agent with our students as they uncover two mystery destinations and craft an unforgettable travel package! Through research and creativity, students designed immersive itineraries that highlight each location’s geography, culture, landmarks, and travel essentials.

Using Google Slides and Adobe Spark, students didn’t just gather information—they applied critical thinking to evaluate destinations, compare cultural and geographical elements, and strategically plan a trip that is both educational and persuasive. They considered travel logistics, packing necessities, and must-see attractions, ensuring their itinerary was both practical and exciting.

To bring real-world experience to the project, high school students attended, listened to presentations, and scored each travel package using a rubric, providing valuable feedback. From breathtaking sights to compelling pitches, each presentation takes viewers on a virtual adventure, proving why their travel package is the ultimate choice.

"Presenting was a little scary, but I felt proud and confident after sharing my travel package. It was exciting to have high school students listen and give feedback too!"
