Part 2: We will be creating a book of all different house styles. You and your partner will need to research and put
together your section of the book. Each house style should be 2 pages, one page with information and the second page
with pictures (minimum of 5 pictures). You will also need to create a citations page of where you gathered your
information from and where the pictures were from. Google is not a source, you need to cite the actual webpage. The
citations page is separate from the pages for the book.
Information needed:
-What year(s) was the house style popular
-What are the characteristics of the house style
- Where is the house style commonly found (either a state, area, country, etc)
The section of your book can either be created on the computer in a Powerpoint or Word doc. or you can print out
your information and paste it on color paper. Any pictures that need to be printed please put in some document and
post to Edmodo so I can print them on Dec. 7 when I return. The project is due Dec. 8 at the end of class. You will
have the entire class period to finish pasting your pictures and then we will put the book together. I have posted your
groups and the house styles you have been assigned on the class website.
