Planning a Trip

We are planning a field trip through the Middle East that will bring us into contact with the people and places that we are studying. Your team of experts will create an itinerary and powerpoint presentation or poster that will be both informative and useful in preparing the class for the journey. The trip will last three days, so set your priorities to get the most bang for the buck. Each team will have a specific location, so plan your trip accordingly. Powerpoints and posters will be presented on Thursday and Friday, February 4th and 5th. Please leave any questions, comments, useful websites, etc. in the comments section below.
