Focus+for+Google+Lit+Trip

Marcus goes on a journey from freedom to captivity. As a group we would like to track his journey through Google Lit Trip. We will show how each place he is taken to represents his thoughts of what freedom really means in the United States. We would like to show his emotional journey as well as his literal one. Each place that Marcus is taken to is a piece of the puzzle. This assignment will show other readers the ability to use places and travel as a way to tell a story. //Little Brother// is a great example of how one person's journey can change their thoughts of freedom forever. We plan to show the place where Marcus's life changed forever. What would have happened if he were somewhere else at that time? This Google lit trip will not only show the adventures of Marcus and his friends but where it takes them at the end.

OK, I have went to Google Lit trip and watched How to Videos. Here are some things that we have to do: *Educational resources related to each location  * discussion questions to guide student thinking, *links to primary source documents,
 * Cover Page
 * Annotated place-marks
 * images illustrating concepts

 ﻿ Places to consider for Google Earth "Little Brother"  ﻿Cesar Chavez High School, CA- Significance and Discussion Questions ﻿ San Francisco Bridge, CA- Significance and Discussion Questions ﻿ Alcatraz (Prison)- Facts and Discussion Questions About the Author  Everyone will search for information, photos, and questions relevant to each site for our Google Earth Map. We will then compile all the information into one final product

﻿ I hope this information will help us get started and that way we can break up the roles. ﻿ I will see you all Wednesday. (Amanda)
