Have the students prepare a simple tourist guide for the city or town they live in. Allow them to be creative. They should highlight the places that are worth visiting for vacation, relaxation or entertainment. Have them include in the guide the names and notes about exemplary citizens as appropriate.
Use a rubric to grade the tourist guides. Make sure all relevant aspects of a good guide are included in the rubric, and that students understand these. Give students feedback based on results of applying the rubric. Some possible features to assess are:
- Quality: information in the guide is up-to-date and precise;
- Usefulness of the information: it is easy to understand for the reader;
- Graphics of the guide: the map is well drawn, other images are relevant and well presented;
