Google Maps

So... Google maps?
Not something i often use if im going to be honest, reason for this i dont really no? But today where where told we was going to create a narrative using the locations we where giving in groups of four. For this task we didnt get too pick our own groups which in a way is a good thing because it lets us all talk to new people that we might have not neccesarly spoken to before, for instance the 3 other people in my group i hadnt really had much conversation with so it was good to get to no new people in the class. What we had to do? As a group using a destination giving to us we where to create a narrative that uses location/space as a structure an order for story elements, rather than time. Our pin on the map was Chinese Arch in Liverpool, Nelson Street. This was going to be our starting point and we where to create any type of story just as long as it started at that point and took us to 5 other destinations, we can include anything we think will work with our story from text, images, video and audio.
Our Story... We had a few ideas to begin with ranging from imaginative to less imaginative but decided to go with a nice story that would work well with our starting points. We decided to follow our story on from a dream a young woman has about meeting a boy in her dream 'the man of her dreams' and when she wakes up she decided its fate and she is going to persue this dream, traveling round the places she seen in the dream going from different chinese arch's in all different places from: -Liverpool -Manchester -London -Canada -China so at some point in the story under one of these arches she was to find him! which one we havnt decided yet, but its a working progress. So when we think of a little more to our narrative im sure to keep use posted, if anyone even reads this?

Here is the finished product: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=212073587820743719502.0004b6cac1dad468a4f8e&msa=0
