=FOR ALL RESEARCH:= =Your Home Page Should Follow This Model!= YES- YOUR GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION COUNT! Make both you and your partner(s) make sure you proof read everything. Use the T pallet above to make titles bigger and change colors or font as needed. Have fun with this but keep it accurate and appropriate!

= Introduction: =

Students: You should not make your font this big! I only did it so that you could all read it on the screen. When you present your site to the class, we will not be reading it, you will just be showing us what you did (but not really reading it either!) We are going to Eastern Europe this summer! Although we still have to pack, we have our trip all planned out. This wonderful homepage will show you all about it. Below, you can find a calendar of our trip (click for July!) and a map, outlining where we will go. The best part, is the journal below where you will read about all our great adventures! Because we are not fantastically rich and can't stay in all the castles and palaces of the kings, we are keeping a budget of every euro or zlotsky spent (click these links below!) We are brushing up on all the languages we need to know; like, "do you speak English?" Since my Romanian isn't so good- I'll depend on that one! I am most excited about seeing the memorials in Belarus for all those who were killed during the time that the Soviets ruled. Scott is more eager to visit the forests. It's spooky but there were thousands of people killed here by the Russian KGB as well. See this link** to read more!

**Students, if you want to add a link to another website (from either www.lonelyplanet.com or www.ricksteves.com), just highlight and copy the URL, go back to wiki, highlight what you want to link, click the link icon above but hit the EXTERNAL TAB and paste the URL. I like to click the NEW WINDOW box so that when people click it, it opens up a new tab for them.

= Calendar of my Trip: =

Students: I should be able to click the month, and see when and where you are going! For this one, go to July!

= Map of my tour: =

Students: Does your map look like this? Click on it and drag it to Eastern Europe to follow my trip! media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=200220012547008905485.00049cd757e766f9cff85&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&spn=36.726391,78.134766&output=embed" width="425" height="350"

= List of Common Phrases: =

Students: You will have a list for ALL the languages you will need! For this you will be going to @http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

Okay, Ms. Anders is in trouble, she doesn't even know what language they speak there and the link above doesn't tell her, BUT Russia is very close and since they controlled Belarus until the late 1980s, she knows most people will speak Russian. BUT, how do you pronounce this: Do you speak English- Вы говорите английскую язык? So yours will look something like this:
 * __When we are in Belarus, we will need:__**

Where is the closest bathroom? -Ou sont les toilettes les plus proches? How much is this? ---Combien est-ce-que ca coute? Should have at least 7 or so for each country!
 * __When we are in France, we will need:__**


 * __When in Spain, we will need:__**

= What We Will Each Bring in our Backpacks: = Students: This will just be a list but you are limited to 50 lbs! Read this because Ms. Anders is not going to show this to you- you come up with your own, but be detailed! No, you will not need your blow dryers and curling irons girls. The only electronic device, you will want is perhaps an MP3 or music player. All the electric current is different in both Europe and South America and you will need special chargers if you are to plug anything in. Your parents can go two weeks without you on the other end of the cell phone. It’s expensive and easy to charge. You can arrange to call home once a week from a pay phone by buying a little card. It’s easy. You are limited to 50 lbs in your backpack that you will check in. You may carry a smaller backpack on the plane as a carry-on. List what you will have in both. Remember that all the major cities in both South America and Europe have laundrymats! You do not need to bring 14 shirts!! Three should suffice.
