Field Trip Project (2-3 week project)

How would you like to go to Stratford, Canada to watch an exciting, high-quality play and experience a culture that is different from the United States? The cost is between 50-75 dollars per person. Perhaps cheaper if you find a solution. Or maybe you want to stay closer to home and visit the African-American Museum in Detroit? Phantom of the Opera? As a team of 2 to 3, research these possible trips OR others. Find the ideal cultural event for the class to attend. If your presentation is persuasive enough as a realistic plan, it could be chosen for our field trip. Do such an awesome job in your research and presentation that your grade will reflect your efforts.

Project Samples

Listed below are your guidelines to follow:

  1. Research a list of six (6) possible field trips (must be culturally related to Arts, Music, Drama, Ethnicity, or History).

    Three sources must be from the Internet and two from a periodical. For different searches use http://epiphany.simplenet.com/mccarthy/resources

  2. Cite all six in a Bibliography page (Use MLA format which may be referred to in the student resources site at the above address).
  3. Narrow your choices to one, based on these categories:
    • Cultural experience
    • Entertainment value
    • Economic cost (Include a graph or chart comparing each)
  4. In a 5 to 10 minute technological presentation: Video, Web-Site, Power Point
  • Describe the benefits of the field trip activities based on the categories above.
  • Compare the strengths and weaknesses of economic cost.
  • Include pictures, brochures, and/or other primary documents that will enhance your presentation.
Evaluation:
  1. Bibliography page (Use MLA format)
  2. Outline, notes, and REVISIONS
  3. Paper copy of presentation (transcript if a video)
  4. Presentation
  • Clarity - information is presented in clear understandable terms. Be specific and use examples.
  • Visually Appealing: Use of technology to effectively present clearly understandable images that support presentation.
  • Length is 5 to 10 minutes.
