African+Adventure+-+A+Google+Earth+Expedition



Over the next few weeks, we will be learning about the geography and culture of Africa. Africa is a diverse continent with many resources and cultural riches. We will also be learning about the challenges that this great continent faces.

For this expedition, you will be creating a travel journal for a character on an expedition in Africa. You will focus on locations you visit throughout Africa as well as people you encounter. You could be an archeologist on the hunt for ancient relics or a safari leader taking a group on a tour of the Victoria Falls. You may be a European explorer trying to colonize an area in Africa. You may be an actor filming a movie on location in the jungle. Maybe you are an explorer trying to find the source of the Nile River. ===For your expedition, you must include at least three specific locations that are in Africa. Using Google Earth, you will create a placeholder for these locations, include a picture that is related to the locations, and you must write a first person narrative description of why you are at that location. Finally, you will connect all of your destinations with a path and keep track of the distance you have traveled.===
