Road Trip is an intermediate thematic unit. It is packed with motivating and creative activities that integrate language arts, social studies, art, and math. Students work in cooperative groups to take an imaginary trip within a budget.

Activities can be adapted to any classroom situation. Activities address both basic and higher-level thinking skills. Evaluation forms allow students and teachers to assess student performance.

Special Features: Road Trip includes an overview with unit objectives and pre-unit preparation; a weekly calendar of activities; a complete, reproducible student packet; and evaluation forms. The student packet asks students to complete various activities, such as: calculate the cost of lodging, fuel, and healthy meals; learn about and "visit" historical and geographical locations, museums, and popular tourist spots; keep a journal of travel experiences; and prepare an oral report.
