Tues August 28: fun with portaportal, part five

So now you have an online bookmarking account at portaportal. You have made it visible to me, and added three categories. You have added websites to two of the categories --> "important" and "my stuff". Now it's time to add some websites to the last category you made -- "travel"

The first step is to figure out which place you either want to travel to, or someplace you've already been that you liked so much that would recommend to the rest of us as a great place to go. It can be another city, another state, another country, even another planet. (Nope, I'm not kidding.)

The second step will be to add not less than seven websites to this category.

Three of the websites must be about the place itself; include an "official" website if it has one... for example, I am sure that the city of London has an official website

Two of the websites must be about things you can do when you are there. There might be some "overlap" from the three websites above, but don't worry about that. Just fit 'em in where you can

Finally, two of the websites must be specifically about HOW you get there. They could be airline or cruise lines websites (or NASA if you're planning on going into outer space...or maybe the Russian space agency, since the cheap chiseling politicians in this country won't fund NASA enough to put people in space, even as they shower Wall Street with money)

Make sure that the websites are something that you actually can make sense out of...if you don't understand what they are saying, then don't use that website. And as ever, ALL your websites must be SCHOOL APPROPRIATE

cheers,
Mr. L
