Once our students have completed their internal group work, and interacted with their Virtual Pen-Pals as described in our Google Docs we will have students collaboratively create a Google Maps of the famous playwrights of the plays they discovered.  Each student will select a playwright and find the following information to document on the Google Map:

1. Playwrights full name
2. Where they were born (this will be their pinned location on the map)
3. How many plays they wrote
4. What is the one play they are most known for
5. 3 facts about the playwright you learned

This inquiry project will further students knowledge about playwrights and see that a famous playwright can come from anywhere. Further urging them to see the importance of playwrights and how where they came from may have influenced their plays.  One our class has completed their Google Map they will then post and share this with their Virtual Pen Pals and vise versa.  Following the postings they will compare their findings to see what new playwrights their Virtual Pen Pals may have found and see what additional information they may have found on playwrights they also documented on their Google Map.
