 * __//Google Lit Trip Review//__**

I took a road trip into the wild by following the students' of Mr.Thomas Cooper of the Walker School in Marietta, Georgia. It was based on the book, //Into The Wild// by Jon Krakauer. The trip was made for 9-12 graders and follows the journey of Chris McCandls as he traveled th country and became obsessed with living off the land until he tragicallydied in the Alaskan wildnerness. The trip was done fairly well with an overview of Chris' travels and good pictures showing the areas in which he stopped. The descriptions basically had summaries and a good picture of each location. I've read the book before and it was fun to get a good visualization on all the places he visited including where he left his car in the desert. As a lessn it was a good visulization but it maybe could have used some reflection questions. I would say it jst mostly summarizes the journey and a brief description of what he did at each place. A very good viual representation though. If I was to us a google lit trip in the classroom I would use it follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, the Union Army, and possibly use it to show the exile of the Indians fom the Eastern United States. It would be hard to tie it in to any reading in class with the exception of a textbook, but still a very useful tool nontheless.
