Once again the students of CI 424, Teaching Elementary Social Studies, are embarking upon exciting adventures with the class mascot, our own little Traveling Ambassador. As each student takes the 'dog' to a historical or geographic site, each will be learning more about our region, our station, and our nation. Tourism is one of Southern Illinois' biggest sources of revenue. So what better way to integrate geography, history, and civics than by taking a companion on a possible field trip site!
Don't forget the criteria...post a picture with you and the dog at the site, check for spelling and grammar errors before posting, create a story about your adventure, put your name in the story, state the latitude and longitude of the site, the miles traveled, and other interesting details. Have fun as we journey through this anniversary year!
