Students gather information for their topic and city. Student teams in each class prepare a first draft of their section of the guide. Each student team sends a copy of their first draft to their counterparts at the other two universities for review and comment. Each team makes revisions to its first draft and finalizes their part in a final draft. Each class assembles the five group final drafts into one document and do final formatting.
Classes exchange their newsletters via email and regular mail.
Students write a reflection paper that describes the steps they followed to complete the project, any problems they had in collecting, gathering, and exchanging informations. They also evaluate the project in terms of helping their writing, and provide suggestions for improving the project.
