Travel Planning

Lesson 7: Research- Activities

Sports and the Great Outdoors

Using your number 5 then 4 Sports and the Great Outdoors preferences, try some of the basic keywords and links. On the same piece of paper that you did the previous exercise, write the title “Sports and the Great Outdoors”. Jot down your 5 and 4 preferences and any appropriate links.

In the comments section of the Activity Questions Links Form, write down any useful information such a specific sporting event. Continue searching from general to specific links. In other words, start searching for ice fishing associations and eventually find an ice fishing guide. Feel free to go beyond the links below to sites that more specifically suit your preferences. Share your new keywords and links with others on the discussion board.

Keywords

Adventure tours; skiing then the your desired location; and climbing then the state/province you intend to visit.
