Project Summary

Students will design a pilgrimage experience using budgeting, creative writing, and research to plan a senior trip before embarking upon their post-graduate adult lives. With seven days and $5000.00 to spend, they will design a journey in which they reflect on their life as an early college senior, before starting their life as a young adult and professional.

Driving Questions / Scenario (what are we trying to solve or improve?):
How can you relate to the pilgrims from the Canterbury Tales and use your own motivations for seeking a pilgrimage to relate to their real-life desires and need for spiritual cleansing and purification?

Literacy Connection:
The Canterbury Tales

Using your understanding of the Canterbury Tales and The Prologue, design and develop a pilgrimage designed to suit your own needs for purification as you near your high school graduation.
