Process II - The Guidebook

Part II. Writing & Publishing the Guidebook

Step 1: Download or Create a New Template

• You may download this previously created template, or you may create your own guidebook template

**Note - your teacher will be checking on your group's progress throughout the note taking stage**

Step 2: Create your Guidebook

Your group must now use the information and pictures that you have gathered during your research to create a guidebook for the 8th graders’ trip to Washington DC.  Remember your division of labor in the previous part (who does what).

Each site’s entry in the guidebook must contain:

• Name of the site

• Brief background about the site (5 facts minimum) – Consider Who, What, When, Why, How the site became so important

• What visitors should expect to see:

o   times the sites are open to visitors

o   any restrictions for visitors

o   expected behavior while at the site

o   What is available for visitors to see and do

o   Any costs associated with visiting the site (entrance fees, etc.)

                     o  2 to 5 pictures of the site

**Make sure that your guidebook has a cover page with the title of the book, a picture, and the names of your group members.**
