Lesson Plan

Alex: Jet, Set, Go! Travel Google Earth in Ben's Dream

Curated by ACT

This lesson uses the picture book by Chris Van Allsburg Ben's Dream with Google Earth to highlight ten major landmarks of the world. After reading and discussing Ben's Dream, learners "travel" to each location using the free software Google Earth. Students will then be put into small groups by the teacher to research one specific landmark using the tools available on Google Earth (i.e., snapshots, Wikipedia links, etc.). Using their research skills, learners locate these famous landmarks, conduct further research on them, and share that information with the class.
