WRITING TASK. TRAVEL BROCHURE

Dear intermediate students,

For those who don't come neither on Wednesday nor Thrusday. Here you can find the instructions to do the writing task for March 4th.


Travel Brochure
Your Task: Create a travel brochure that would excite potential
tourists to take a vacation in the society we studied this unit. (Do this
as if the culture is still thriving. In other words, don’t describe the
ruins of the Colosseum, describe it in its glory gladiator events and
all.)
Instructions:
1. Turn a blank sheet of computer paper sideways and fold it into thirds.
2. Unfold it and number the sections on the back – from left to right – 5, 6, and 1. I know it
seems wrong right now, but in the end it will be right.
3. Flip it over and number the sections on the front – again from left to right – 2, 3, and 4.

4. Now complete each section as follows:
Section 1: Write the name of the location (example: “Exciting Rome”) and draw a picture of
the location.
Section 2: Write the word History and briefly describe the important events of this culture’s
past. Draw a map of the location.
Section 3: At the top of the section write the name of a specific site in this culture that every
vacationer has to see. Draw a picture of the site and write about why tourists should see it.
(Why is it important to the culture? What happens there?)
Section 4: Create a fake amusement park. Title this section with the amusement park’s
name, draw a picture, and write about some of the rides and attractions.
Section 5: Title it “Accommodations and Dining”, draw a picture, and describe where the
vacationer will stay (in other words, this culture’s version of a hotel) and write about the
cuisine (types of food) a vacationer might eat there.
Section 6: Write a paragraph that persuades tourists that this culture and location is the best
place to take a vacation. (Hint: if it doesn’t make you want to go there, it probably won’t
make anyone else want to either.)
