The Wisconsin Passport can be organized by geographic regions like the National Park passport, or more like an actual passport for authenticity. The pages need only the name of each location, but a box for placing the stamp, and an outline map creates more interest. Desktop publishing software or actual cutting and pasting can create sharp-looking pages. The final Passport production steps involve laminating the covers and binding the booklet together. Set up a student-accessible file with a file folder for each place that you want the students to visit.
Students work at their own speed to complete the activity pages.
They must, however, view the video to receive a stamp. By organizing the materials this way, teachers can be flexible with various student ability levels. Students receive a picture stamp to rubber cement in the passport. The teacher can also add the date with a date stamp, which the school librarian might furnish. At the end of the year inform students that they can take their Passports with them when they travel around the state and can add signatures, actual photos, or other souvenirs of their Wisconsin travels.
