Itinerary

Choose three places to visit from the list above. Most of the sites will contain information about many things students need to know. Keep in mind your task is to gather information about time management.Keep a travel journal ( sheets of paper you will turn in as assignment) to evaluate each site you visit as you look for what you consider the best advice for you. What should your journal entries look like? You may wish to print this and use as your journal. When you finish with your three sites, you will be asked to make a "postcard" to send to a friend.See directions at the bottom of the page.
