4. Check out the map of Southern California to visualize the distances the family traveled as they searched for work.

Search for the following locations: Guadalupe, Santa Maria, Corocoran, Tent City, Fresno, and San Joaquin Valley.

  1. I really enjoyed this activity because it allows the reader to visualize and make relevant the travels of a real family! It makes me want to create a 'google lit trip'!

  2. This is a great way to incorporate crossover learning activities, as you mentioned in your slideshow/powerpoint, such as map reading, math skills, and geography literacy. Great idea!

  3. I love all of your external links. They all appeal to the different styles of learning and are more interactive than just reading and posting. Great Job! Every student of mine has loved working with Google Maps.
