Google Lit Trips

As with many new things that I've been introduced to, I was skeptical of this technique upon first glance.

Then I listened to the introduction and overview as told by the creator Jerome Burg.

Google Lit Trips is yet another interactive tool for students to surround themselves completely in the literature that they are reading. Burg tells us that he also showed his students a video of a dust storm to give them a visual link to John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath.

Lit Trips seem to be very adaptable to almost any book, and they propel students and teachers to learn as much as they can about the specifics of a particular text.
