Transportation

Do you know your transportation ABCs?
Writing/Language Arts Create a class alphabet big book. For each letter's page include the types of vehicles (from horse-drawn carriages to the Space Shuttle) that start with that letter. Illustrate the book with pictures you draw or cut from magazines.

Have students work in small groups to research the transportation options between your community and a selected vacation destination like the mountains, the beach or a distant city. Which option is fastest? Cheapest? Most scenic?
