Assume your students are investigating the history of transportation and it impact on society. (At this point lets not worry about grade levels.)
It could be an introductory lesson at intermediate or a more involved high school lesson with an essential question such as “Different forms of transportation have both positive and negative impacts on communities. How did changes in transportation technology have economic, social or ecological impacts on society?’
Task:
1. Find three useful documents in the Library of Congress. (any format - poster, map, photo, etc.)
2. Post the image to this album
3. Include a reference link - the URL so that we can readily find it again
4. In the Notes section - Write a brief statement of what you think students might learn from the image about transportation impact on society.
