•  Intercontinental Highway Map Activity

    In this activity you will examine a map with a proposed intercontinental highway route. Based on your knowledge of physical features and climate and vegetation regions, you will need to provide a rationale, that includes at least three reasons, for why the World Bank and African leaders might have rejected the proposed highway. In addition, you will provide at least three solutions for the World Bank and African leaders to consider as an alternate route. Your rationale and solution should be written in letter form.
