This low-prep, cross-curricular project invites students to go on a road trip. They will choose a destination and research the history of that location (reading & SS), analyze driving directions and odometer readings (SS & math), and write a narrative journal entry (writing). Students will be able to be creative and apply skills in a real-world setting! Included are both paper and digital formats (great for distance learning), as well as teacher models, suggestions for differentiation, and extension activities.

This product includes 3 versions of the document for flexible online or offline use! There is a PDF with teacher suggestions, there is a PDF with a printable student packet, and there is a version that can be digitally filled out with Powerpoint or Google Slides. Perfect for an in-school, out-of-school, or distance learning project, with or without internet!

Target skills & content: Place value, multi-digit addition, research, note-taking, timelines, regions/states, reading maps, history, narratives, transition words & phrases
