Upper Elementary
> Write a report about a real or imaginary trip to Kenya. Use the page below as your cover page. You can then create your own blank journal pages or use the journal pages that are available to abcteach members. The pages available for members include directions for writing specific information about your trip, including holidays, people, and sightseeing. Some pages, such as the journal pages, should be printed or photocopied to make an entry for each day of your trip (a one-week trip needs 7 journal entries; a one-month trip may need 31). The pages that call for pictures can use actual photographs, pictures from magazines, or drawings. There is space on the left of every page so that you can staple the pages together to make a book when you are finished.
 * Talk to students about the history and culture of Kenyatoc
