The document provides directions for creating an electronic scrapbook. Students are instructed to visit websites related to their topic and collect tidbits of important information such as text, pictures, audio, and video to include in their scrapbook. Students are limited to 2-3 sentences of text per scrapbook page and must properly cite all sources. After completing the scrapbook, students will present it to the class and explain why the information scraps help their understanding of the topic.

1. Directions for Creating an Electronic Scrapbook
1. Visit the Web sites suggested for your topic. At each site you visit, look
for information you feel is important to share with your classmates so
that they get a better understanding of your topic. This information is
a “tidbit” that you will put in a scrapbook about your topic.
2. You may copy and paste text, pictures, audio, backgrounds, clip arts,
poetry, songs, video, or just about anything that pertains to your
subject.
3. You are limited to 2–3 sentences of textual information, not whole
paragraphs for your scrapbook. Choose text that really says
something to you. You can explain the details more fully in your
presentation to the class. Do not copy paragraphs of texts, just the
information that “wows” you.
4. Be sure to cite every source on the Internet from which you take
information—text, pictures, video, clip art, backgrounds, and so forth.
5. Add the citation for each item you copy to your Bibliography slide at
the end of your scrapbook and/or track the information in the Notes
area at the bottom of the slide.
6. After you have finished your scrapbook, you will present it to the class.
In your presentation you must tell why the “scraps” of information are
important to your understanding of the topic.
7. Be sure to review the rubric so that you will be sure you have met all
requirements for your Electronic Scrapbook.
