Introduction
--------------------------------------------------

Crosscountry USA is an interactive geography program designed to teach and 
strengthen many different skills. Students become long-distance truck 
drivers and are assigned to pick up commodities on their journey.

The program allows children to have fun while they learn:

- facts about the United States (weather, terrain, cities, population, and 
more)
- basic map-reading and map-interpretation skills
- how to budget (time, distance, and expenses)

The program may be played on different levels.

- Younger children tend to use the program at an introductory level. They 
learn basic facts about map reading and the differences in terrain across 
the country. Crosscountry USA  also teaches students where cities and 
states are located, as well as where commodities are produced.

- Older children tend to use the program on a more complex level. They 
learn the facts, but they also learn methods for determining the fastest, 
most cost-effective route to their destination.

The game is an excellent tool to promote geographical literacy. It also 
helps broaden children's knowledge about the US while developing 
higher-level thinking skills.
