Prompt:

In teams of two, design and create a map of your planned journey from destination A to destination B using a pen, pencil, markers or with collage on a large sheet of paper provided. 

Prepare a short narrative and be ready to share verbally with class about why you are taking this trip, who and what you are transporting. How long will your journey take? Is there a specific time you need to reach your destination? Why? If yes, how will you make there on time, and how does this affect your choice of mode of transportation? 

Your travel journey should include a minimum of 4 modes of transportation. Your map should visually describe all four legs (or more) of your trip using the different modes of transportation. It should also include place names and geographical conditions like rivers, oceans, major roads, mountains, valleys, etc. Included on your map should be a visual diagram of how each mode of transportation works. See examples provided in class. 

On your map, for each leg of your journey, describe why you choose each mode of transit. Why does it work well? What are the disadvantages of this particular mode of transit? What is the primary way of fueling or powering each mode of transportation?
