Landmark's ROADTRIP! |
| It's spring break and
you
are bummed because your trip to Florida has been canceled. However the
weather here in Vermont is not something you want to stick around for.
That's when your phone rings, it's your buddy Lucas on the phone! Lucas
Landmark has been one of your best friends since the day you were born.
You and Lucas have done everything
together, from swimming in his pool, to riding bikes around the block,
to going to the candy store and overloading on penny candy. But wait...
the two of you have never left the block! |
Your
Challenge:
This is
your lucky
chance! Lucas has invited you to join him on a road trip with his
family. The
plan is to travel the country from landmark to landmark, from the
Statue of Liberty to Old Faithful and everywhere in between. However,
you can't just come along for ride. The Landmark family needs you to
contribute to this trip. No, they aren't asking for gas money, they
need your photography skills. You are invited on the road trip only if
you promise to complete a scrap book at the end of the trip. Lucas
Landmark wants to prove to the school that he can travel the block..
and beyond! |

The Scrapbook: |
|
Pictures:

Cut
and paste pictures from the websites you visited onto a Microsoft
Word document.If you are unfamiliar with this program you may use the worksheet I've created.
Remember your
visiting 6 landmarks so there needs to be at least 6 pictures. However,
the more pictures you add the more interesting the scrapbook. You can
add
pictures of states you traveled through or food you ate or anything
else, just
be creative! Don't forget to label what website it was you found the
pictures on. |
