In April 2018 I saw a tweet from Jennifer Bishop, middle school librarian in Saco, Maine, appreciating the usefulness of this website. This prompted a dialogue:
Fast forward two months, and I was visiting with Jen’s middle school students as we collaboratively created our own Lit Trip for In the Shadow of the Sun. Basing our process on these instructions for creating a Google Lit Journey (https://www.googlelittrips.org),
Jen divided the students into working groups to generate locations in each chapter and any questions.
After the visit, I built on the students’ work to create a list of locations and filled in coordinates and notes, which Jen used to create the final Lit Trip map.
