  • Once you are assigned your letters and have agreed to how you are going to split up the categories amongst the group, start finding resources.
  • Brainstorm several possible words for the letters you have been assigned and then narrow your list to one specific word.
  • Research that word and then summarize what you have learned in your own words. Write a detailed description of the word as it pertains to the history and beliefs of Islam. Each summary should have between 3 and 4 facts. Do not list them in bullet form but write a paragraph.
  • Be as creative as possible for each page and the cover.
  • Use visuals ( color if possible) that connect to the word on each page.
  • Write your name somewhere on the letters you create so I know which ones you are responsible for.
  • As a group you should agree to the format of the book so the pages resemble each other or are connected by a theme.
  • Include a list of resources. ( not your textbook.)
