Give 4 options on the medium of how students can show off their knowlege. It should not only be informative but also persuasive. It also needs a rubric.
This document outlines a project proposal for planning a summer getaway focused on a road trip across the United States. It includes objectives and requirements for creating a persuasive presentation to secure funding from a travel board. Participants are encouraged to select a primary destination, incorporate visits to at least two National Parks, and propose lodging options. The document provides guidance on route selection, budgeting, and effective persuasive techniques using ethos, logos, and pathos. It discusses the importance of route planning, daily driving distances, and the significance of lodging types. Various presentation mediums are suggested, including travel brochures, video pitches, digital maps, and blog posts. A grading rubric is provided to ensure that the project's requirements are met, including persuasiveness, research accuracy, and budget feasibility. Overall, it aims to inspire creativity and a deeper appreciation for National Parks while fostering planning and rhetorical skills.
