Research Paper Summary Format Choices

All written summaries must:

• be typed
• explain where you went and what you did each day of your trip
• include descriptions so the reader can visualize your trip
• include SPECIFIC facts from your study guide/outline (show the reader what you learned about your country, but you do not need to include every single fact)
• follow the extra requirements for the format you choose from below
• be stapled/paper clipped with your study guide (notes), outline, rough draft, and any other papers related to this project

You may choose from ONE of the following formats:

1. Seven Postcards
