Requirements 1, 2, and 3 should all be written.
Requirement 4 allows you to choose 2 of the 5 options. For the map requirement in 4a, make the map and scan it or take a good quality photo then combine it into your workbook or send it in at the same time.
For requirements that say visit or take part in you may use something you've done before to complete the requirement. Please write as much as you can about the visit considering the requirement (for instance, if you visited the Liberty Bell write about its history and what you learned or experienced about the bell's significance, but not about the gift shop or the snack shop). ;-)
