Google can also be used to create Literature Trips. It is possible, using google maps, to track the journeys of characters from your favorite novels. Students are able to put in placemarks that can include pictures or relevant research. It is also possible to track the distance that characters have traveled in the book. Instruction on how to make a map can be found here. https://support.google.com/mymaps/#topic=3188329
