The students in a second grade class became interested in visiting London after learning about the Great Fire of London. They decided to create an interactive guide about London for kids to help plan a potential trip. The students worked collaboratively in groups to research various locations and attractions in London using online sources. They created posters with this information which were compiled into a digital guidebook. The students then practiced presenting their findings and received positive feedback after families used the guide during trips to London.
