Google Map

The idea of my lesson plan is making a family tree. The assignment would be for the students to do some research of their ancestors. Part of the assignment would require them to make a family tree on poster board. The other part of the assignment would be for the students to create a customized map on Google. They would have to pinpoint the birthplace of each member of their family. The birthplace could be a city, state, or country...whichever is known. They would also have to include an image or video with each ancestor. The image should be something of significance to either that person or that place. Extra credit would be rewarded for adding more detail to the map. Here is an example of some of my family tree with images of popular places.
