New "Travel Period" Missions

TTI is proud to offer a new style of Time Travel Blogging. Instead of giving travelers specific missions and tasks to complete, we are now simply going to send you to a specific time and place. Travelers will determine what they will see and do. Travelers will also determine what type of posts and how many posts they will write during the "Travel Period."


A "Travel Period" is defined as the time between the start of the mission and the due date of the final posts. Travelers should use this form to keep track of their missions. Travelers should also submit the form before 4:00 on the day the mission is due. Forms can either be printed out and placed in the turn-in basket, or they can be e-mail/shared with Sr. Volpe (ffoxpps@gmail.com).


Travelers should attempt to accumulate a total of 50 points during the travel period. The number of points possible are determined by the type of post and its quality (as a piece of historical writing). Travelers can also gain points by using vocabulary words and commenting on the posts of other travelers.


Furthermore, we offer each traveler a chance to create their own option for earning points. It is highly encouraged that travelers contact Sr. Volpe for permission to earn points using the "other" option BEFORE they plan to do so.


Your first "Travel Period" will begin this week! Good luck, and good travels.
