Project Scenario Your task is to plan a trip around Washington that takes you to at least three different regions. You will need to decide which regions offer activities suited for your family.  In order to have a successful trip, you will attempt to meet everyone's interests in each of the regions you choose to visit during the trip. Your mom is an avid mountain climber Your dad is into white water rafting You absolutely love to go fishing You all like to attend festivals What would be the most interesting regions for your family to visit? Will there be activities for all family members to enjoy at each stop? During this project, you will learn how the geography of Washington's different regions helps make certain activities possible, but others not. You'll need to share information with your family in order to persuade them that your summer trip would be a good idea. Your team must decide which regions are best for your family to visit and then create a persuasive brochure and oral presentation that will really make your family want to go.
