European Vacation
Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.6-8.7, 6.G.1.1
Your teacher has tasked you with planning the ultimate field trip to Europe. This will be a month-long trip that takes place during summer vacation and should be an immersive social studies and cultural experience. Your teacher has asked that you keep the five themes of geography in mind during the planning process. You must include absolute and relative locations of places and landmarks on your itinerary, as well as the physical and human aspects of the places you will visit. Your itinerary must also include a guided informational tour on how people interact with the environment such as river transportation and adaptations people make to live comfortably in an environment. Include visits that emphasize movement between people and the environment and don’t forget to look for places to visit in all five regions of Europe. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so you don’t want to miss out on anything! If your plan is chosen, you and your team will have all of your expenses paid for the trip!
