Welcome to Road Maps: Around the World Adventure!
To complete your journey, you will virtually visit different cities and countries around the world to learn about new cultures, histories and perspectives. As you travel, you will encounter some tasks along the way. These tasks, called Explorations and Excursions, will help you learn more about the places you visit and are required for continuing your adventure.
You will not know ahead of time which cities and countries you will visit during your journey. As you arrive in each destination, take time to learn about the place and complete each Exploration and Excursion task to the best of your ability. The work you submit for each task must be your own—plagiarism is not allowed on this journey.

Helpful Tips for your Adventure
Completing EXPLORATIONS and EXCURSIONS:
- The EXPLORATION and EXCURSION tasks that you will encounter on your adventure will prompt you to watch short videos, read articles, explore maps and more. You may also research additional information online to help you complete these tasks; however, your answers should be written in your own words. Plagiarism will not be accepted.
- If you are completing this assignment for class, be sure ask your teacher if you need to keep track of your answers on a Student Adventure Guide before you begin. Road Maps will not save a copy of your work and your teacher will not be able to access your answers unless you copy them and save onto a Student Adventure Guide.
How to Pause your Journey:
- If you need to take a break from your journey, you can exit the survey and come back at any time. Only click “end my journey” if you do not plan on finishing your adventure.
How to End your Journey:
- When you complete one trip of your journey, you are able to stop or continue on to the next trip. To continue, simply click “continue my journey” when prompted by the activity. To end your journey, click “end my journey.” Once you click on “end my journey”, you will not be able return to your spot.
