Google Maps

I had always been familiar to google maps in trying to find a location, if i was booking a hotel or looking for an address, but i had never used it in order to create a story. We were set into random groups of 4/5 people and given a location, ours was St. James' Cemetary, a familiar place for me as it was where we filmed for People on the Move. Anyway, we began brainstorming on ideas as to what we could do for this and after alot of ideas we wanted to base in on somebody who had been buried within the gardens. so we began researching people who were buried there and found a brilliant subject, "Sergeant Arthur Herbert Lindsay Richardson V.C. The first winner of the Victoria Cross" We thought this was a very historic man and done alot of research into him and found alot about his life. Perfect. We then set our route up on Google maps visiting the places he visited during his life before finishing with the cemetary. After presenting it to the class we got some really good feedback about how interesting his life was so all in all i was happy with our chosen subject and how his story was well known enough for us to gather the information on him.
