Step #1

I know you are excited about beginning your journey across the U.S., but I don't want you to rush through without knowing how to get started. Your first step is to get with your group and take a look at a map and choose 15 - 20 cities that you would want to visit. Then take some time to research each place and decide which city provides enough events for you to participate in as a group. Then from there, narrow your list down to the 10 cities that you truly want to visit.

In your blog, write an entry on how you decided on the cities of choice and provide a list of those 10 cities. Create a timeline that explains when the trips will be taken and in what order. Title your post "My Top Ten Cities" and post by Friday, February 20.

Next, explain to me the roles and responsibilities in your group. For example; who's job will it be to find hotel information, or what about the research on what to eat. Tell me who is doing what. Then assign blogging responsibilities. There will be 12 blog entries, this being the first. Decide on who will blog about each of the 10 cities that you visit and all the activities that you participate in. Everyone in your group will be responsible for the content of the blog, but only one person will actually post the blog. The 12 blog entries are:

1. Step # 1 (The response to this activity)
2. First Stop - City #1
3. Second Stop
4. Third Stop
5. Fourth Stop
6. Fifth Stop
7. Sixth Stop
8. Seventh Stop
9. Eight Stop
10. Ninth Stop
11. Tenth Stop
12. Summarize your entire project experience

I'll explain what is expected for each blog in a separate entry.

Have fun!
