Now each one of you need to create a PowerPoint presentation to explain to your classmates why your selected country must be the chosen one, where are you going to stay, how long is it going to be and how much will it cost. It is important to have in mind the fact that you have a budget of $5.000 each and the individual cost of the trip should not go beyond that.
In the end, the class will decide together the destination through a debate taking in count the presentations.
