This interactive Google Earth file (KML download available) surveys the important places in the life and works of Shakespeare to add depth and context for an English class. Produced by an Arizona State University ESL professor Shane Dixon (who happens to also be my awesome older brother), this learning module infuses geographic thought into the study of literature. Many geography teachers bemoan the state of geography in education and I understand that frustration for more explicitly ‘geography’ courses; I also see this type of interdisciplinary activity as way to create a geography that is a part of all classrooms. So talk to an English teacher about a collaborative project–it just might get you somewhere.
