Google Lit Trips

It was hard for my grade 9s to picture London today, let alone London of the 16th Century. However, I was able to use Google Lit Trips as a springboard for showing them where our character, Richard, in The Playmaker lived and travelled. For many, they had those "ah-ha!" moments or "oh my goodness - are you kidding? HE WALKED ALL THAT WAY?" moments.  The interactivity provided through my Smartboard took it that step further.
