Google Map Lesson

I am designing a lesson for my Advanced Drawing and Painting students.  For this lesson, they will be ask to create a realistically rendered pencil drawing of a historical building in the Lake Odessa, MI area. 

They will choose a building from a pre-determined list.  They will then be ask to locate the building in Lake Odessa, photograph the building (as a reference) and then complete a detailed pencil rendering of their chosen building.

The Google Map would be an interesting addition to this lesson.  Students could compile a class map, documenting their chosen historical buildings.  Their pencil drawings could be scanned and added to the map along with their reference photos.
