Once you are in Rome you have to visit all of these fun and exciting places and bring back information and pictures for a scrapbook. You want to have a good trip and bring back plenty of memories.

PROCESS
Your task as a family is to search the sites below for places in Rome that fit your interests.
Assign roles (see packet for your family i.e. Dad is a history buff - Sister is a shopper and does not like history - Mom loves Italian cuisine)
"Visit" these places, gather information, and take "photos" of the places you visit.
When you get back "home" you will put all of the information and "photos" into a scrapbook so you can have a place for all of your "family's" memories of your trip to Rome.
