The lesson I have in mind can be used for a History or Geography lesson. Each student will research the heritage of a past relative and their coming to America. Since most of us have ancestors from other parts of the world, this will be an enrichment lesson as well.
The student will learn about the location of their great-great relatives. They will map key locations of interest and the final destination. The map must include-
- at least two modes of transportation.
- a beginning and end spot with a connection line.
- history of the city of departure and arrival.
- upload a picture of one mode of transportation on the map.
I made an example with my grandfather, go to this-

What a cool idea! I may just have to do that for my grandparents!
