Topic Research: The Geography of Ramayana

I have decided to go with The Geography of the Ramayana for my final project.

My first idea is to have the setting be a classroom. A teacher will assign a specific location to each student, who will then give a presentation about the geography of that location and also what happened there in the Ramayana. The teacher would then highlight the best three or four presentations, which would make up my project. I am not sure if I would only want to use real places, or if I would also want to include fictional places.


My second idea is to do a travel itinerary similar to this (for some reason, the text appears to be the same color as the background, so if it isn't showing up for you, you basically have to highlight the whole page the read it. If I decide to use this idea, this feature will not be included.) For this story, I would probably use the itinerary as an advertisement, highlighting three or four places of the Ramayana, what happened there in the story, and how it looks today. I might also try to incorporate how the Ramayana has affected that location due to things like tourism if possible (I could/probably would also use this for my first idea)

My third idea is to have a first person story of someone actually going on the tour. They would then review the places that they have visited, giving a back story of what it was like during the Ramayana, as well as how it looks now, and then posting it to their famous "travel blog."
