From Place to Place

Step 1 - Students will compile a list of places they usually travel, or need to travel to. Examples: grocery store, movie theater, mall, school, etc. It may be a good idea to see if there is a place of work to document how to get there as well.

Step 2 - Spend a few days traveling these routes and taking pictures of starting location (don't forget their house), bus stop signs, landmarks you'll see when getting close to your next stop, transfers, etc.

Step 3 - Put the pictures in order for each route in computer photo albums and label them for each destination. (Example: Home to school, Home to grocery store, Grocery Store to Home, etc.)

Step 4 - Add the albums to an IPod or other handheld picture technology.

Step 5 - Have the student show you how to travel one of the routes using their pictures. Be sure to have them describe what they are doing. For example, "This picture shows me a picture of a church - see there it is. Now I need to pull the stop wire so that I can get off at the next stop."
