 * French-Google Earth Tour, Historical Figure's Important Places**

__**Project Description**__ Students are to use the Google Earth program to create a virtual tour after researching a historical figure's life and choosing 4 to 5 important places or cities in his/her life. The figure should be a relatively well known person with French origin, or ties to France or the Francophone (French-speaking world). For example, the Marquis de LaFayette could be someone students could research and study since he was French, and he helped the American Revolutionaries during the Revolutionary War.

My example project focuses on Marie Antoinette and 4 important places in her life: Vienna, Austria (her birthplace), the palace of Versailles (the royal court/residence) in France, the Conciergerie prison in Paris (during the French Revolution), and la Place de la Concorde in Paris (where she was publicly beheaded at the guillotine). Students will have to follow the model, providing a brief introduction to the location, a link to a website, and a task to be completed, information to be discovered, or a question to be answered as a result of visiting that website.
