TRAVEL THROUGH NORTH AMERICA!
Using your textbook, complete the travel activity. Choose 5 physical landforms to visit as you travel throughout North
America (don’t forget Canada!). Landforms can include: mountains, bodies of water, waterways, deserts, canyons, valleys,
plains, divides, shields, islands, forests, etc…ask me if you want to clarify. Complete the chart to plan out your destinations
and create a flow line map (IN COLOR) to show the route of travel to each destination (make sure your map has a key!)
THIS IS YOUR FIRST PROJECT GRADE SO I EXPECT MAXIMUM EFFORT.
CHART
1. On the chart, choose your 8 destinations and complete the description box for each. This must include the type of
landform it is, the location of it, what landform region it is located in (pg. 118), the state(s) it is located in or if there
are any major cities near it, statistics such as elevation, size or length (see page 102-103 or you may have to do some
internet research)…include any other vital info!
MAP
1. Draw a compass on your map
2. Draw and label each landform destination,
3. Color lightly over your landform to represent the climate region it is located in (there might be 2 climate regions!),
see map at the top of page 125 (put on key).
4. Draw a line to represent the route of travel you took to each destination. Your starting point AND ending point is
Atlanta, Georgia, label this but it is not one of your destinations! (put on key)
5. Use a mile calculator to estimate the length of your travel to each destination (put on key…EX: 1 inch=1,000 miles)
