Introduction

**Introduction**

**Following is a simulated exercise. You are to play the role of the student and complete all assignments given to the student. You are to take the exact trip that is planned for this student, but you will do it virtually. You will follow the itinerary provided and "visit" all sites on the schedule via the web pages provided. When students are given free time or optional activities you can choose the ones you would like to do, but this should be reflected in the "journal" you will be asked to write. At the end of this simulated exercise you will be expected to submit the completed assignments as if you were the student and as if you actually went on the trip. Good luck and buen viaje!**  //You are a sophmore in High School and are currently taking Spanish II. You like it, but don't know if you will continue with Spanish after this year, since you have fulfilled the requirements for College Admission. A few of your friends talked you in to signing up for the Foreign Language Club, emphasizing the benefits of Tapas dinners and Spanish movies for free. You decide it is a good idea to have some extra-curricular activities on your college applications so you sign up. You are surprised that you actually have a lot of fun with the other kids in the club. The club teacher starts talking about an 8 day trip to Spain that is being organized for the summer. Your best friend is very interested and is going to sign up. You are interested too, but for all the wrong reasons. It sounds exciting to be far away from home and with very little parental supervision. You think it is a long shot that your parents would pay for such a trip, but you decide to ask them anyway. They surprise you by embracing the idea and even decide to cut back on some expenses to fund your trip. You nervously fill out the application form and submit it to the club teacher the next day. You can't believe you are actually going to leave, not only the state, but the COUNTRY at just 15 years old!//
