Teacher Information
 
I am glad you are interested in this iAdventure.  Harry's adventure is about a 10 year old who is planning his own adventure with two friends, Hermione and Ron.  They learn about Denver and Chicago along the way and about choosing train and plane fares.  The students in your class are to choose a plan and then create a final project in the end.

The iAdventure is geared towards 4th grade students.  To complete this iAdventure your children must have some background or prior knowledge with maps, compare/contrast/and Internet usage.  The iAdventure is geared towards several curriculum areas such as Communication Arts, Math, and Social Studies.
