Andean Countries Guidebook!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it...is to choose one of the Andean countries from South America (Chapter 9) that you would like to learn more about. You will research this country in depth and create a guide book that would be informative and useful to people who are planning a visit to that country.
Your final guidebook should be an actual booklet, and informational sections / descriptions should be handwritten. No Powerpoints this time, please.
You may use artwork / images / background pictures / etc. from the Internet or drawn by a group member.

Your guidebook should include pages dedicated to:
--A COLORFUL, CREATIVE COVER that includes the name of your country, your name, the date, your class period, and any other pictures or images you wish to include
--Map - A colorful map(s) of your country depicting its major political and physical features
--Flag - A color picture of your country’s flag (printed and then colored by hand is fine if you don’t have a color printer)
--A Visitor’s Guide to your country - These pages should inform prospective travelers about what to do and expect while traveling in your country. Topics that you must address include (but are not limited to):
o Climate, Vegetation, and Wildlife: Describe the climate regions and types of vegetation found within your country. Include maps and photos where appropriate.
What type of clothing would people need to pack for their trip?
o Official Languages: Remind visitors about the primary languages spoken in your country.
o Culture: What are the basic elements of your country’s culture? Topics discussed could include such cultural features as food, music, art, sports, etc.
o Customs: What are the important cultural customs that visitors should know about before visiting your country? Describe them here!
o What to do and where to go: Describe several popular tourist destinations and “hot spots” of your country. What should visitors do or see? Where might they go?
--Works Cited Page: – MUST BE INCLUDED -- Cite all sources used (including websites, articles, books, etc.) See www.easybib.com for proper citation information and examples. Make this your last page (should be a separate page). This page may be typed…even copied and pasted from easybib.com would be fine!
Extra Credit!
--Create your own “postcards” about your country - You must include at least five images of your country’s landscape and/or climate on this page. Please be sure to state what each picture is showing and include the source in your Works Cited page.
You will work with a group of 2-3 to complete the project.
