Wednesday's+classwork

In the groups that you selected on Tuesday, listed below, please complete as much as possible of the activities listed below. You will receive a class work grade based on your efforts.


 * Cooper-Dennis
 * Ross-Emma
 * Bailey-Jordan
 * Caitlin-Hollan
 * Leah-Anna
 * Chris-Cory-Trey

Each group should....

1) Create a timeline at [|timetoast.com] of the major points of Chris McCandless' journey. Start from May 12, 1990 (when he graduates from Emory) until he walks "into the wild" after hitching a ride from Jim Gallien (around April 27, 1992). These dates are mentioned in chapters 3-7, though they are not necessarily in chronological order.
 * 1) Sign in to the timetoast.com account that you created on Tuesday.
 * 2) Click "Create a new timeline" and give your timeline a relevant title. Put your first names in the title, please!
 * 3) Add events. If you do not know the EXACT day, then choose the 1st of the month.
 * 4) Add relevant images by downloading them from the internet to your computer and then uploading into timetoast.com. You can find these via a Google image search.

2) Using Google Earth, explore the locations that Chris visits during his nearly two-year journey. Here is how to do this.
 * 1) Open Google Earth and sign in using your capefearacademy.org address and password. (Upper right hand corner)
 * 2) Using the search feature, enter your query: ex: Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.
 * 3) Add a place mark using the yellow push pin.
 * 4) Add a title: ex. "Emory University"
 * 5) In the description box, say why this place is important in Chris' journey. One or two sentences will do!
 * 6) Click "File" and then "Save my places" to save your place marks.

If one person works on the timeline while the other is pinning the map in Google Earth, you should be able to accomplish this in 50 minutes!
