Background
Go through the Internet resources
to make sure that all links are working. Prepare "family cards" with appropriate
roles and different family names. Students may select their family "at random"
or may choose partners. If students are assigned "at random," it might be helpful
to color-code the family roles for males and females. Prepare folders for each family to
save their "photos." Prepare a class set of handouts.
During the activity:
Have class/group discussion after
each step in the process. This will help students organize their thoughts and
check for understanding.
Circulate to be sure all group members
are working appropriately. Students should not be "surfing" aimlessly.
Plan for absentees! Students may
be added to a group late and complete the "research" while group members are
working on the scrapbook. Students may complete the scrapbook during free time
(or after school).
After the activity:
Students love to share their
Power Point presentations. Select exceptional scrapbooks to present in class,
or organize a showcase where students can share in the computer lab as a round-robin.

Invite parents or community members
to share their travel photos of France.

Rinehart, Winston website.
