Postcards Home
An Interdisciplinary World Cultures Research Project

Greetings from the World Wide Web, I've
been surfing the 'net to make your research easier.
Use the links embedded in this message to gather
the information for your "Postcard Home". First,
you will need to choose a vacation
destination
outside of the United States that you can fly to.
Then you will need to purchase round trip
plane
tickets
for a weekend vacation. Go for a trip and don't forget to
"take"
some pictures
on your trip. You will also need to find out the
currency
exchange rate
so that you will have some money to spend. While
you are at it, you will need to know the
weather
conditions
at your destination. In addition, I would like to
know how
far it is
to your destination. |

Your Assignment
Create a three-slide
multimedia postcard about your trip using Google Documents Presentation.
1. It is a postcard
souvenir, so the "front" (slide 1) should be mostly pictures with some text.
2. The
"back" (slide 2) should contain your message. Make sure to gather all of the information listed above by writing a
message that lets the instructor know that you have completed all of the
tasks. For full credit, every detail will need to be included.
3. The card should be addressed to your
classmates. It should also have a "stamp" on it, so it will arrive in a timely fashion. :) HINT: You can find stamps on google images!
4. The third slide
should have a bibliography of where you collected any images. Make sure to follow the Quick How To: Cite of Source
5. Once you have completed the Postcard assignment, you will need to mail it off to your friends in the classroom using the Google Groups: spring09_ucb@googlegroups.com.
