Semester Long Project Proposal
Our project is about traveling. We wanted to answer the question of
what purposes people travel, the modes in which the travel by, the worlds
most popular places and what makes them so popular compared to the
unpopular locations. We will also analyze foreign and domestic travel and
how customs play a factor in each of those. We will include anecdotes of our
own travels and about the study abroad program at UNC Charlotte. We will
approach this project by researching our topics that we will be discussing and
planning a PowerPoint presentation to give the class insight on the joys of
traveling.
We plan on creating our PowerPoint by creating two-four slides per
subtopic. Each subtopic will include facts, statistics, pictures, and other
supplementary information. We will use the information we find in the
sources to explain and clarify the topics and subtopics all about traveling.
The technologies we will implement will be our laptops with the internet, as
well Microsoft PowerPoint. We will attempt to find an educational video
describing the opportunities that traveling offers. The research will allow us

to integrate information about how people travel as well as the reasons for
traveling.
Our plan is appropriate and effective because of the common ground
all the group members have on the topic of traveling. This will allow us to be
effective because of the passion we all share for traveling abroad and
domestic. This project will allow the audience to become familiarized with
modes of traveling, popular destinations as well as the cultures of the world.
The Study Abroad topic could help the audience spark new ideas about
traveling and maybe help them seek out the Study Abroad program.
Each member of the group will be responsible for researching each of
the selected subtopics. This will allow us to have an overwhelming
knowledge about each of the topics and we will be able to present the
information with confidence. With each one of us having our own
interpretations of the research will also allow us to be as confident and ready
as possible for this presentation. Each member will also be responsible for
designing a few slides pertaining to their individual travels. For Jared it will be
about Hawaii, for Cailee about her travels in Costa Rica, and for Chapman
about his adventures in the concrete jungle of New York City. During the
presentation, each member will be assigned certain slides to talk about to
further engage the audience. But each member can also have their input on
any of the slides, not particularly pertaining to their own.

This proposal was produced by all of the members of the group. Each
person put forth their own ideas and concepts. Traveling is an exciting
experience and all students should be able to have their own stories of
traveling.
