Students have applied their knowledge of the different Civil War sites around Virginia to create an interactive map and trip brochure. They will share this with others in their community through giving out their brochure to those who may be interested in taking this trip and learning more about the Civil War. After they plan to teach other students in their school how they can use Google My Maps to create their their own trip maps.
