The children were asked to draw something that they would want the children from Plymouth, England to see if they were to visit Plymouth, Massachusetts. They also were to write a sentence telling what their place is and what you could do there. Most of the places are right in Plymouth, but some are day trips to Boston or other cities and towns nearby.
