You can choose either of the structures pictured here for your book.
Follow these steps to create your book.
- Take three pieces of long paper
- Fold one end about half an inch and make a sharp crease.
- Glue the folded edge to a second piece of paper.
- Repeat with your third piece of paper.
- Cut off the extra edge to make your three pages even.
Now you can add content to your book. Begin by cutting out three maps of North Africa and three blank pieces of paper. Glue one to the left hand side of each page front and back. Do not glue anything on the right hand side at this time.
To make your excerpt follow these steps.
- Begin by rereading all of your journal entries with a highlighter.
- Highlight the portion of each entry you want to excerpt.
- Be sure to include historical information from each document. This is an important part of the overall grade for this book.
- Highlight between 50 and 100 words.
- Type up your excerpts in Google Docs.
- Before you begin, set up a two-column document to produce the correct margins.
- Give each entry a heading including location, month, year, time of day. Center this.
- Use left justify for the rest of your excerpt.
- You may use a "handwriting" type font.
- Skip several lines between each journal entry.
- Print this document after you have proofread it.
- Cut out the journal excerpts and glue them into your book.
- Use the maps to show the locations of three journal entries and the route you have taken by that time.
- Use the blank pages to create illustrations for three journal entries. One of these should be a picture of Mansa Musa or something closely related to him.
- Add other creative touches to your book that you can think of.
- Make sure your full name is clearly visible on the front of your book.
Books are due on Thursday. This is an 80% project. Your full journal entries will be included in your grade.
