Original Prompt

My digital literacy class has learned Excel and PowerPoint. I want these students to create a budget and slide show to convince someone to take a vacation. They get to choose the vacation and it must be 7 days. I want this to be a project they work on for several days with different parts due on different days.

The Dream Vacation Project is a 5-day educational initiative designed for students to explore travel planning through practical skills. Over the course of the project, students will select a vacation destination, research logistics for flights and hotels, create a detailed daily itinerary, and manage a realistic budget using Microsoft Excel. They will culminate their project with a persuasive presentation showcasing their plans in Microsoft PowerPoint. The project emphasizes real-world skills such as financial literacy, effective communication, and critical research techniques, encouraging students to engage creatively and analytically with the task of planning a week-long holiday. Each day features specific deliverables, from a destination selection form to a comprehensive budget draft, ensuring students follow a structured timeline to produce a polished final presentation.
