Google Lit Trip for English literature or Language Classes

View Larger Map

Similar to veronica's idea, you could use a GoogleLit trip where books have more than one location in the content, but not all books would be suitable for this. Divide the class into groups for each chapter and get each group to either describe the location, add URLs and images relevant to the setting or story, write vocabulary questions or give word meanings and provide discussion starters for class based discussion on the reading. I think the discussion starters are great for getting the children involved in the discussion as they had to think of the ideas themselves. I tried an example from The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope, but I could not get the image up unfortunately as Im just a novice Google earth user!
