Write the introduction and basic information to explain the project. Describe the type of culminating experience -- thesis, special project, etc. -- and the basic purpose.
List the guidelines and rules of the project. This can take one page or several pages, depending upon the project complexity.
Explain how to choose the culminating experience topic. If the student must write a thesis paper you may want him to clear the topic with you first. Include any other specifications the students must meet in choosing a topic.
Attach a grading rubric. Explain the standards each student must meet to be ranked "Below Standard," "Meets Standards" and "Exceeds Standards."
Include project deadlines at the end of the guidebook. List the exact date and the tasks students must have completed by that date.
Write a table of contents and attach it to the front of the document. You may also create a cover page naming the project and year of the project, if you wish. Save as a PDF document.
