Planning and Preparing for the Virtual Voyage
For each step of planning and preparing, students first brainstorm, then do research and refine their plans and preparations. Each step is an occasion for a short, informal essay or oral report.

Step 2. Sail Planning

Questions for Students: On a map of the Pacific trace out how you would sail to each of the destinations. How long would the canoe take to sail to each destinations? Are your routes and plans similar or different from the course strategies PVS plans to use? How can you account for the difference?
