Lit Trips are downloadable files that mark the journeys of characters from famous literature on the surface of Google Earth. Along the way, placemarks with pop-up windows contain "just in time" resources including relevant media, thought-provoking discussion starters, and links to supplementary information about "real world" references in that portion of the story, creating engaging and relevant literary experiences for students.  ~bring stories to life as you map out the events  High School Lit Trips
