Students expand and reinforce learning as they create their own guide to content-area units. Creating their own guides helps students meet state standards for obtaining, sequencing, and categorizing information, as well as creating written and visual material. The finished books also serve as authentic assessments that document students’ accomplishments and progress over time.
