Second, students selected an exotic vacation location for turkey. (If he left America over Thanksgiving break, he would not get eaten.) Some turkeys stayed home.
Third, students researched a vacation destination using reference books and World Book Online.

Fourth, students wrote the first draft of our turkey narratives. Students opened up their Google Docs and started typing their story. A link with a writing prompt was provided in Google Classroom.

Steps Taken to Complete the Vacation Photos
First, students were guided in adding the application Google Earth to their GAFE (Google Apps for Education).
Next, students located the country they had researched, and used the man icon to get a street level view.

Then, students took a screen shot of their selected location.
Lastly, students uploaded their photo onto their Google Doc.
To Bring it all together.....
We used the app Green Screen to superimpose the turkey onto the Google Earth image
