Travel Brochure

Spartan students are starting a new project in English class. They will be creating an essay and travel brochure based upon a real or imaginary vacation spot!

Students can either describe a favorite vacation they've been on or create their very own vacation spot. They will write a four paragraph essay about this spot, highlighting amenities, lodging, activities, dining options, etc. They will also use their persuasive techniques to persuade others to book a trip to their location.

After finishing the essays, students will create a travel brochure, highlighting the most important information about the vacation spot.

We will be working on this project in class for the next two weeks. Projects will be due on Friday, April 15.
