ATW+Trip+Two

For your second Around The World Trip, you have earned $1,700 from your last assignment plus any money you have left over from you first trip. With this new budget, you are allowed to travel outside of the country if you choose, however, airfare can be quite expensive. Also, don't forget to get your passport, which costs money also. You can travel anytime you like. You may only stay with a relative for one day, but don't forget to bring a gift of thanks.

Things to consider when outside of the country. What currency do they use (and what is the exchange rate)? What language do they speak? How much clothing will you pack (don't forget, you have to pay for your baggage)? How will you travel once you get there.

Your new assignment must include either a book review, an author 'interview' from stories or authors that are from the location you visit. Ex. If you go to England, you may write about a Harry Potter book or you may describe or interview J.K. Rowling.

You may also decide to do a mini-biography or a mock-interview with someone famous from your location. Perhaps you go to Italy and decide to interview 'Leonardo DaVinci'. You may decide to spend a day with King Henry VIII or Napoleon.

Your interview or book review should take up two or three paragraphs of your expository.

You will earn $500 for your expository writing of your trip. This may be in journal format, but don't forget to include an introductory paragraph with a brief history of the location. You also need to have a concluding paragraph which will be your persuasive reasons for visiting (or not visiting) this location.
