Abstract

The purpose of this project was to obtain materials for a photo database to be used in French language instruction. This was accomplished by traveling to France and taking a myriad of pictures. I was in France from April 12 to May 8, 1996. My sister traveled with me and was my aide. We bought Eurorail Passes for the trains, and made it a backpacking excursion. I feel that we made significant contributions to the project in terms of volume of photographs, however, I was surprised at some of the difficulties that I encountered. I hadn’t foreseen some of the inconveniences inherent in the project. Throughout my travels, I was constantly finding myself in unique situations where I had to use interpersonal skills, organizational skills, and all sorts of improvisational skills to accomplish the goals that I had set. Overall, it was a great experience.
