Looking for interesting materials to help your students really understand this famous Alaskan sled dog race?
You can use this in class without any problems. It goes along the long, twisting road that goes from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, and is more than 1,000 miles long. The trail has a new route every year that shows off Alaska’s wide range of scenery, from thick woods and icy rivers to wide steppe and tall mountains. Your students will learn about the Iditarod Trail and how it was important in the past as a way for Alaska’s native people and gold rush travelers to get around. They will also see the struggles and successes of modern mushers and the strong sled dog teams they use.
