Traveller's Log
Monitoring Chris & Clark's travel, students keep a logbook of the expedition as if they were traveling with them. Each day/week/Monday, students would research and read up on the trekker's current position & situation, and creatively log in the events of the time period. Depending on the age group of the students, frequency of the logging, and expectations of the task, students this task can be modified in a variety of ways (see the extension section of this task).
