The document describes a project where second grade students in Spain created a guide to London after studying the Great Fire of London. The students used various sources to research attractions, places to stay, and things to do. They collaborated to make informational posters and an audio ebook. The students then presented their London guide and received positive feedback after others used it during trips to London. The guide provided a real learning experience as students interacted online about applying their research on visits to London landmarks.
