Final Friday Film Quote:


Pam: You want us to study?
Shoop: The thought did cross my mind.
Denise: Well, what's in it for us? What do we get out of it?
Shoop: Literacy?

.....and the name of the movie is..............?

Today:
  • Passport to Europe: "Final Cut" of your Travel Video needs to be ready for presentation on Monday/Tuesday of next week
  • Planning a Trip to Europe: This is Part 2 of the final project. Use the Itinerary doc on Google Classroom from last week to plan all the details of your Europe Trip. You have to plan your trip using a budget of $3,000 per person.....so you have to put your heads together to figure out how you're going to do all the things you want to do on your trip. This includes: tickets to museums/sights, travel costs, food & lodging, shopping, etc.
