Great American Landmarks Adventure: Using this Guide
Using This Guide
While the topics, activities and resources suggested in this guide are primarily intended for 4th to 8th grade students, many--with some adaptation--are appropriate for younger and older students as well. Suggested grade levels as well as subject areas are provided in brackets behind each activity. It is expected that the educator will select and when necessary, alter the activities and discussion to the knowledge and abilities of the young people using the adventure book.
This guide (and the theme categories within) is not designed to suggest a complete set of units of study; rather, it provides ideas for creative use of the adventure book by the diverse educators of our youth (i.e., teachers, adult volunteers, and parents). Use of additional historical materials, and a variety of other media, field trips, and guest speakers is encouraged.
