8th Grade Trip

This webquest will have students develop a budget proposal for their 8th grade class trip. This is a fairly simple project, I would only give students 1-2 weeks outside of class to complete this webquest. They are recommended to have work checked by a family member or friend. To ensure they do this step, you may consider having them complete steps by a certain date and have classmates check each other's work and give feed back in class. Advanced students could be given additional budget information to find and fundraising proposals, left more open ended.
