Welcome and great to see you all again! Today in class we will be starting our California's Gold Ultimate Road Trip! I can't wait to see the ideas and places that you decide to check out. Below you will find our agenda, homework, and resources for the day.
Objectives:
Agenda:
- History Today
- Prompt: California's Golden Treasures
- What is your favorite place on your California’s Gold adventure? Why did you pick it? Have you been there before? Do you think you can convince someone to take you this summer?
- Google Classroom -California's Gold Road Trip
- Follow the direction on the Road Trip Document
- Begin 'Greatest Road Trip of All Time' (Work on this will happen Friday)
- You will create the ultimate 800 - 1,500 miles summer road trip with your (new) table group. (We are doing something special with this grouping)
- Be sure to swap contact info with group members in case you need to contact each other about the project outside of class.
- Choose four choice locations and four historical locations to create your trip. That is a total of 8 locations.
- Your table group will need to print out a copy of your road trip and be prepared to discuss it with class on Friday. (Hint:: not all group members need to print it out, but since EACH of you will be speaking, its a good idea you all have a copy.)
- For each location of your road trip, you should be prepared to speak about the following:
- How many miles is the location, from the previous location?
- How does the location represent the characteristics of the region?
- Why did you choose this location over other possibilities?
- Each group member should be prepared to share out about at least one location on your road trip
- Tool: Road Trip Planner and Google Maps
- Current Event #3 due uploaded to Classroom by Sunda,y January 27 @ 11:59 PM
