The GATE students at Oliver, Robinson, and Sun Valley Elementary participated in an independent study project in which they had the challenge of planning every aspect of an imaginary trip, to a destination of their choice, while managing a travel budget. The students were required to research and make decisions about such matters as where and when to travel, modes of transportation, types of accommodations and which sites to visit. The students also created a daily travel itinerary and a travel expense chart. After carefully planning their trip, students had to imagine they had returned in order to write a creative memoir in which they reflected on their journey. All of this written material was collected and put in their portfolios. Each student then had to design a self-created postcard and a three-dimensional visual that represented a particularly memorable aspect of their fictitious experience. The students used a student-self assessment rubric to score themselves and the teacher also assessed them by using a teacher assessment rubric.
