"The date is July 25, 2002, the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Eva Duarte de Peron, former first lady of Argentina. In commemoration of the influence she had on the nation, there is a proposal to make the date a national holiday. This question has aroused many controversial sentiments across the country as Ms. Peron's life receives mixed reviews. Trying to be fair to all groups, the deciding board of government officials has formed a committee to consider the petition. The committee will consist of people affected by Ms. Peron in different ways. Each committee member will express why or why not Ms. Peron should receive this honor."

"Alfred B. Nobel (1833-1896) was the Swedish chemist who invented dynamite and established in his will the Nobel prizes for Peace, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine and Economics. Nobel’s desire was to offer a prize 'to those who during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind.'"
"Over the years, French scientists, writers and humanitarians have won each of the coveted awards, and you are about to be instrumental in adding to their numbers. Beginning this year, the Nobel Foundation wishes to create some posthumous prizes for men and women whose contribution to the world occurred before the establishment of the Nobel Prizes, and to offer prizes in certain fields yet to be acknowledged. They have asked you to nominate a French person, famous or obscure, without whom our modern world would have been affected for the worse. You will be asked to provide details about the person’s early years and background, the period in which they lived, their contribution to the world and its significance at that time and now, and to state in clear terms why you think that they deserve this high honour."

"While walking along the street on Saturday, you and your three friends look down and see a black wallet lying in the gutter. After opening the wallet, you see that it belongs to the famous Spaniard Antonio Banderas! A phone call to Antonio reveals that he is ecstatic that you found his wallet and is offering you and your friends a huge reward. The reward is based on one condition!
Antonio Banderas has given you and your three friends a trip to Spain to be taken two months from today. As a group, you will be given $8000 US. Your stay will be a minimum of 6 days, and you can stay a maximum of one month. During your trip, you will have to visit at least 3 cities and stay in each one for 2 nights. Given this information, how long could you and your group stay in beautiful Spain?
Your journey will begin in either of the two largest cities in Spain: Madrid and Barcelona. From there, you will be visiting other cities, including Sevilla, Salamanca, Leon, Granada, Toledo, and Valencia. After completing daily travel logs of your journey, your group will create a final presentation to be shared with the class."
