Pretend you are a dog and write a story about your life on the trail.  Use clip art and border. Calculate the rate/distance for the trail, and project how long it would take to complete the race. Use Excel®. Demonstrate a typical Eskimo dance, and explain its history. Create a dog sled using popsicle sticks.* Write a song about the trail, dogs, or cold. Compare the training of these dogs to your own personal training for a sport you are involved in. Create a diorama of the arctic tundra. Use the internet to explain two different types of tundra foliage.
