Introduction
 |
Pack your bags and grab your passports, we're going on a world tour!!!
We are going to take a virtual tour of six different countries on six different
continents. As you visit each country you will collect pictures,
information and maps to use to complete a scrapbook of your trip.
Once you've visited all the countries and you are safely back in America,
you can pick a place to learn more about on your own. Then, instead
of being a traveler, you can be an actual travel agent as you prepare a
country guide book and travel brochure to share with the class. BON
