Travel Agency Reflections

It has been a busy month for our class as we have researched the countries of South America and reported out in brochures, advertisements, PowerPoints, and more!  I hope that as guests came through our room, that you realized how much your hard work pays off. 

Please answer the following questions in complete sentences:
1) What was the most interesting thing you learned about your country?  (Be sure your country name is included somewhere in your answer.

2) If you could travel to your country, what would you most want to do there? 

3) What did you learn in the process of creating your travel agency?  In other words, what skills do you think you have learned or things have you learned about yourself as a student as a result of this project?

  17. The most interesting thing that i learned i think is learing about Uruguay's flag, I learnd that the 'sun' on the flag represents freedom and independence in there country, also on the flag there are nine strips to represent the nine providence in Uruguay.

    2) If I ever taveled to Suriname I would go to the rainforest because there many cool and unique looking plants and animals.

    3)A skill that I've learned is that if I don't slack off I will get everthing done sooner because I finised everything way before the due date.

  20. 1) The most interesting fact i learned from my country is that the most famous export from Bolivia is coffee beans.
    2)I would mostly wanna travel to the cities because when i researched about my country there were alot of different varieties of cities. Such as (Isla Del Sol) means island of the sun is one of the most popular city in Bolivia. I wanna go there because i learned that the Incas used to live there and that there's a waterfall that leads 3 streams which symbolizes don't lie, be lazy, or steal.
    3)I learned from creating this travel agency project that even though the country might have boring pictures or it may have something wrong with the country. Is that it can be a chance that you will find many interesting facts about the country when you ever research.A skill I learned during this process is that for people who make a business of a travel agency has to do alot of work to get people to go there.
