Making Travel Journals During the United States Region Tour

By  Beth Newingham on February 23, 2012
  • Grades: 3–5

After each stop of our United States region tour, students write travel journals about what they saw or what they learned at the important place. 

The travel journals are a great way to connect writing skills with social studies, as the students are expected to give a narrative account of their experience at each tour stop. They are also asked to draw a picture that looks like a photograph taken at the tour stop. They can use the pictures in the textbook or from the slide show I create to go along with each region.

View more photos and information about our travel journals.
