Your budget needs to include transportation, accommodations, activities (minimum 3), and food for 15 students, 3 chaperones, and yourself. You can include other items in your budget.

3.    Brochure

Rubrics

You have all seen several rubrics during your educational career at UTTC and other places. A rubric serves as a standardized assessment tool. As part of your midterm assignment you are asked to create a rubric for an activity. To get you started there are some websites that can help with the set up.
