DO+-+Trip+to+Greece



Review: My first stop was to view a Lit Trip entitled Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. I found this site to be disorganized and very confusing. The first marker had three separate texts, including how our story started, a biography of the author, and another historical picture, I assume relating to the story. I read a review of the book, which helped a little. I would not use this Lit Trip in class. However, if I were to read the book, perhaps the sites would make more sense. It was not apparent and not easy to follow from the Lit Trip exclusively. I then turned to Endangered Planet Project, where the goal is for students to begin understanding the global nature of environmental threats by examining the scope of species endangerment. To do this, students put place marks of endangered species from various continents in a folder to turn into the teacher. I thought that this was an excellent resource and easy to follow. This would be a great tool to use in an elementary school science class.
