Introduction
You are about to take a flight! Your flight will be around the state of Arkansas. You are the pilot, and your co-pilot is one of your peers. Your goal during this flight is to locate and gather facts about the different land regions, the mountains ranges, and the major rivers.
In order to begin your flight, you will need to gather a few items. But before you do that, watch the virtual field trip titled Arkansas Regions Journey at the following link, https://tourbuilder.withgoogle.com/builder#play/ahJzfmd3ZWItdG91cmJ1aWxkZXJyEQsSBFRvdXIYgICghuqhnQgM.

Task
Once you have completed your flight, compile all of your information. Next, using technology (movie, powerpoint, slideshow, etc.) recreate your flight plan identifying each region, the mountains you discovered, and the major rivers you found. Your goal is to take your classmates on your flight and inform them about what you discovered!
