During this project you'll work to combine your imagination with research about one of the most amazing airplanes to ever carry passengers-- the Boeing 314 Flying Boat.

One of the most FAMOUS routes flown by that plane was by Pan American Airlines (they don't exist anymore!) who flew from San Francisco, to Hawaii and various small islands all the way across the Pacific Ocean to the Philippine Islands and then to China!

Let's pretend the year is 1939:

• World War II hasn't yet started in the Pacific but DOES start in Europe in September of that year.
• It currently takes about a month to cross the Pacific Ocean on an Ocean Liner
• The Great Depression is happening and millions of people in the US and around the world are without work.
• Pan AM Airlines has a way to cross the Pacific Ocean on one of their amazing Boeing 314 aircraft in only 7 or 8 days and it is REALLY, REALLY expensive.

Your favorite Aunt Marian and Uncle Indy are taking you on an amazing, once in a lifetime trip on the Pan Am Clipper (Boeing 314) all the way across the Pacific Ocean.

Here's the schedule (it can be kind of hard to read, but we'll talk about that soon)

Using your imagination and frequent conversations with you're group please research and complete the following tasks using Google Slides.

Please have fun with this and don't treat this as a series of tasks to do, but more like guidelines to help your imagination!

• PLEASE NOTE: Each topic should be in the form of a journal entry in your 'diary' that talks about the costs of the various items on your trip.

• Keep in mind these are not bulleted notes, but part of your written diary as if you were actually there on the trip, or perhaps just completed your journey.

• Pictures, charts and Maps are a very good idea and will go a long way to making each slide more interesting and informative

Just completing the following tasks gets you to a 'good enough' grade (C+/B- or so). I'm asking that you add a bit of personality to EACH TOPIC (that can be difficult on a few of them, but just a little bit of effort will go a LONG way).

Many students are able to cover a single topic on a single slide, which can work very well. If you need to take two or three slides to cover a topic that is also fine-- just be sure to label them accordingly.

We'll work to do 1 - 2 topics every day. I'll be checking your progress on google slides so make sure to drop the URL for that on our classroom submission page HERE

Topic #1 Costs

Topic #2 Technical Specs

Topic #3 Flight Experiences

Topic #4 Destination

Topic #5 Route

Topic #6 End of an Era

Topic #7 Final Diary Entry

Please cut & paste a link to the URL of website's that you used at the bottom of EACH slide (make sure those links are "Live" because I WILL check!)

It's just fine if those links go on to the next page
