This lessons main subject was 3-D design.  First I brainstormed a vacation spot and drew what I would want and decided what I would want in the foreground, middle ground, and back ground. My vacation spot was Disneyland and it included Mickey's face as my foreground, train as the middle ground, and the banner as the background. Then we wrote a few sentences about our 3-D design like what we did and how we got there. 

Extension Activity
For this lesson, I would incorporate math and have the students plan out their vacation. I would then have them add up the cost of traveling, food, lodging, and any other activities that they wanted to include. They would have to present to their classmates how much their ideal vacation cost.
