6. How did the students explore places?

They had a beginning city which they chose out of a list of ten. They could only travel within 400 miles of the last city they were at. They could go any direction they wanted to as long as they got from their beginning city to their end city. They had to find a place to stay. They had to find places to eat, and they had to find at least three things to see. So, what a lot of students did was they checked the map and they looked for the large city dots in the direction they were going by interstate, and they would check that city out to see if it had the things that they needed. If it did, then they traveled to that city. Some kids traveled to a city, because they were familiar with that city. They had been there before or had relatives there. They had usually their own reason why they chose where they went next.
