Google Tours of Plath's New York

Working in groups, you will use  Google Tour Builder to begin to construct a guide to your chapter of The Bell Jar.  Consider such aspects as the text’s references and how to depict the role of geography in the novel.

Designate one member of your group as the map specialist, one as the researcher (including the readings and the New York Times), and one as the Bell Jar scholar. Work together to address how best to combine these resources visually, analyzing quotations and citing all sources. Save your Google Tour, but do not make it available to the public. Share it with each other and the instructor.

We will compare our results at the end of class.

For a great example of a Google Tour (though it would take far more time than we have this term), see this one depicting the history of the Dublin Rising 1916-2016.
