Idea

In small groups, students create a "cookbook" for how to do something sequential. This can be a Drupal something (e.g. "How to create a blog") or a K-12 education something (e.g. "How to build a log cabin"). Two approaches: structure first, content first.

I. STRUCTURE FIRST: Drupal's 'book' content type helps by fleshing out a hierarchy of pages in sequence, after which the content is placed on the pages.

• SIMPLE EXAMPLE [10/31/09]: http://www.geojune.org/doc/technical-guide-drupal-gis-modules - the book is being fleshed out, but the content isn't there yet.
• ELABORATE EXAMPLE: The Drupal Handbooks - http://drupal.org/handbooks

II. CONTENT FIRST: The 'wiki' model allows content to be fleshed out and new pages added as depth appears, after which material can be organized within a 'book' heirarchy.

• SIMPLE EXAMPLE: http://drupalkata.com/curriculum/node/167 - a "top page" is created first. Secondary pages are created, and then links to them are placed on the top page.
