Instructify

Web English Teacher presents this list of travel-based books and their accompanying lesson plans. Most of it is perfect (and required) summer reading and includes Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Heart of Darkness, among others. The selection of lesson plans for each travel tale contain links to outside sources, including writer biographies, vocab lists and e-notes. There’s even a cool video lesson on Jack Kerouac.

The works featured here all deal with travel, so they make perfect summer excursion books. If your students are traveling, urge them to keep a diary of their own adventures, and compare those stories to the ones here. The reading levels vary from elementary to high school, so there’s something on this list for any student who wants something to read on his travels. - JEREMY S. GRIFFIN
