AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
By Jules Verne

1.- Read the book Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne.

2.- Play the maths game. It’s very easy but you have got two small problems. On the
one hand, you need to add, subtract, multiply and divide in English. On the other hand,
you have only got 80 seconds to travel around the world.

What is it?
Google Earth is a free, downloadable application that works as a browser for all sorts of
information on Earth. It uses satellite imagery to grab, spin, pan, tilt and zoom down to any place
on Earth. Students can explore every corner of the globe, measure distances, create their own
virtual tours, and share their tours with others. You can also create and download layers of
information and view them in geographic context.
Why use it?
Students can use Google Earth to:
• study natural and political maps
• learn map reading and navigation
• visually explore historical, news, and census data
• annotate locations and share with others
• create their own 3D models to overlay on maps
• download geographically-referenced information created by others

Instructional Ideas
• Elementary. Students explore verified locations where meteors have hit the Earth
(http://www.gearthblog.com/kmfiles/impacts.kmz), then create a chart of the
number of craters per continent.
• Middle. Students explore the 19 annotated placemarks mentioned in Jules Verne’s
“Around the World in 80 Days” (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?
Number=156427). Then annotate 19 different places you would stop if they were
traveling around the world.
• High. Students pretend they are with Sir Ernest Shackelton during his adventure
in Antarctica. Explore the virtual tour in Google Earth (http://bbs.keyhole.
com/ubb/download.php?Number=151193) and write diary entries to personalize
the experience. mapping, the iterative design process, and user feedback.
