Introduction

Welcome to the Show-Me State! Did you know that many of the cities in

this great state are rich with history? Lucky for you, now you get

the chance to visit each of these places one city at a time! On your

mark…get set…and go travel around Missouri to learn about what each of

these cities has to offer!

TaskCongratulations! You have been hired by the Missouri Department of Tourism to promote a city in Missouri. But, first…you must travel to each of these nine cities and keep a journal of all of your findings.

Then, once you have made your way around the state, you will pick your favorite city and create a poster with all of the fun facts you learned!

Process

• You will travel with a partner to each of the nine cities listed below. As you travel, you will be keeping a journal, recording important facts from each city.

• After you have finished journaling about each city, you will record its location on the map of Missouri. (This will be helpful later on!)

• In the end, you will individually pick your FAVORITE Missouri city and create a poster with fun facts promoting this city to other tourists who are visiting Missouri.

• Happy and Safe Travels!
