Which of our state’s national parks has a Road to Nowhere? Where is Torpedo Junction and how did it get its name? In which park can you walk in the footsteps of Revolutionary War patriots? North Carolina is home to nine national parks stretching from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Cape Hatteras shores. These parks offer diverse opportunities to spark students’ desire to learn more about the rich science and history of our state. Discover how park resources, including informational texts and supplemental materials, can enhance literacy skills. Learn ways your students can experience our parks both physically and virtually. As the National Park Service prepares to celebrate its 100-year birthday in 2016, partner with national park rangers and literacy experts to create lessons that will engage student learning in your classroom.
