High School Latinx Studies Resources

Most Americans don’t even know the Pan-American Highway exists.

The lesson begins with a short introductory PowerPoint presentation that gains students' interest in the highway. Students will work together in cooperative groups or individually to learn about the longest highway in the Western Hemisphere, that has ultimately been forgotten. They will trace the route through an interactive reading activity. Students will then work together to plan a road trip along the highway along the Pan American Highway, stopping at 14 different destinations along the route.

Starting in Alaska and stretching to Argentina, this is the Western Hemisphere’s longest highway. (Relative Location) Studying the Pan-American Highway in geography is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of the North and South American continents.

The Pan-American Highway spans over 19,000 miles. It is the longest road in the world. By examining the highway’s route, geographers gain insight into diverse landscapes, climates, and cultures. (Place: Physical Characteristics) This helps us appreciate the geographical features that shape the regions it traverses. It also reveals how human activities have influenced the environment. (Human-Environment Interaction)

Moreover, the Pan-American Highway plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce between countries in the Americas. (Movement of goods and services) It serves as a major transportation artery, connecting economies and promoting economic growth in the region. Studying the highway provides valuable insights into the patterns of trade and migration within the Americas. (Movement of people and ideas) It also uncovers the challenges and opportunities from its construction and maintenance. Understanding the highway’s significance in globalization and regional integration helps geographers. This is an amazing route to study running through North America, Central America, and South America.
