Use the templates to research about their country of choice. Students write their draft copy on the bottom of the page, edit and recopy their work onto the top of the page.

Take a file folder and trace or draw a side profile of the desired image (close to the edge of the open side of a file folder). For example a girl/boy, landmark or house (as shown below). Now cut out the image. Do a different image on a second file folder. One could be the traditional dress from a country and the other one could be a popular landmark.

Step 2

Cut off the draft part of the paper and use a

file folder as the front and back of a book.

Seam of the file folder!

Photocopy the template for thediary flipbook (two per page) double-sided. Assemble the flipbook and havestudents write entries as if they were sight seeing in the country they are researching.

Fold back the flaps of the image on both sides of bothfile folders.

Step 3

Step 4

Staple the two file folders together back to back as shown in the picture below. Decorate as appropriate. Use the flipbook as a diary demonstrating what each students has learned as they “traveled” through their country. Glue onto the side of the pop-up. On the other side, glue on the At a Glance activity sheet. The research book and fictional book can be stored in the slits down the middle of the front and back of the 3-D project.
