You will be designing an itinerary for a group of Stage 3 school students on their first trip to Indonesia. When you go, which airline you will fly with and where you will visit will be up to you. However, there are some definite requirements!!
The Task:
- You will visit Java and two other islands
- You will visit for 2 weeks
- You will have a budget of $2500 ( you can assume accommodation has been arranged and paid for - lucky!)
You will need to collect information on specific topics in order to write your itinerary:
- Planning
- Geography
- People and culture
- National symbols
- Recreational activities ( limited to one per island!)
You do not have to collect information on every point within each topic, they are a guide only. It is up to you to decide what you would like to include.
Use the links provided to locate information to help you plan where to go, and what to see and do. Be creative and adventurous! You want your students to really appreciate the richness of Indonesian culture and the diversity that exists in its thousands of islands.
Using the sheets provided in class, take notes on the above topics that will help you plan your itinerary. It must be informative, describing what you will see and when.
Presentation:
Discuss with your teacher. Your itinerary may be created using Microsoft Publisher in a brochure format, or a word document.
You will be marked according to the rubric here .

Now that you have collected all the information, you need to organise it and develop your itinerary. Use some of the images you have located during your searches to add interest.
Remember to cite the websites that you have used. You may use the following as a guide:
< xml="true" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" prefix="o" namespace="">
- Author’s last name, followed by their first name, with a comma in-between. (You may not always be able to find the author’s name, but try your best!)
- Title of the article, using quotation marks, just as you did when using the encyclopedia.
- Title of the home page. The home page is the main page for the site you have visited and usually has an index of other information you can find within that site. Underline it.
- The date you visited the site. This is needed because the Internet is always changing and growing. New information appears constantly – even a site that you visit today could have different information on it tomorrow.
- The address of the site you visited in angle brackets < >. The website address is sometimes known as the ‘http address’ or the URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator. Sometimes these addresses can be very long and complicated. Make sure you copy it down exactly as it appears, otherwise your reader won’t be able to get back to the site to check it out for themself!
