The research journey is a part of our work that teachers need to know. I am very glad to hear about your site, Loree, and will direct others there.

I keep a "Research Trips" page on my website; its filled with images and descriptions of my field research. Teachers and students tell me these images/anecdotes provide a concrete way to envision the process of creating a non-fiction book, and in my presentations of this material I am quick to point out that the research trip informs the entire process, to use your terms, it informs the creation of all three books within the nonfiction book (research journey, aesthetic challenge, art & design).
