GOING PLACES
imageThe second season of the PBS series GOING PLACES premiered on Monday, May 11, 1998. The eight part travel series is "the best way to see new places through the eyes of real people." wNetStation's Web companion piece to the series features interactive maps; electronic postcards; interviews with the everyday travelers seen in the series; original articles; an "Ask The Expert" forum; and more. wNetSchool brings you original lesson plans and reviews of selected sites, to help you use GOING PLACES in your classroom.

  •  Order GOING PLACES videos.


    Original Lesson Plans

  •  Exquisite Corpses, Grades 5 - 8.
    Students create illustrations of three-part figures from GOING PLACES destinations and other cities throughout the world. The illustrations will contain clues as to the figure's geographic and cultural origins.

  •  Virtual Cities: A Multimedia Tour, Grades 5 - 8.
    Using wNetStation's GOING PLACES Web companion piece as a springboard, students will study a city of their choice and, using software with a multimedia slide show feature, will create a virtual tour of that city.

    Selected Sites

  •  GlobaLearn, Grades 5 - 12.
    This site takes students and their teachers on worldwide expeditions. GlobaLearn's explorers post daily logs and journal entries, and investigate the geography and culture of the various stops along their route.
