In
Social Studies we are studying communities around the world. For this project, you will choose a country,
from the list below, to research and create a travel brochure. Attached is a template that you will use to
record your research and then create your own travel brochure.
Any Community in…
Africa,
Asia, South America, The Caribbean, Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia,
Oceania or Australia
Follow these directions:
- Choose a country to research and circle it in the above
list.
- Read each element of the template carefully.
- Go to the library and borrow a book and/or find
information off the internet from a reliable source. These resources will
be recorded in your brochure.
- As you research, take notes in your Social Studies
notebook.
- After looking over your notes and making sure you have
all the required information, record it on the template.
- The template is a graphic organizer for you to gather
your information.
- You will then create your own travel brochure on a large
construction paper, folded with all the appropriate parts from the graphic
organizer. Use your creativity and
create it the way you’d like.
- You will also create a postcard, imagining that you’d been
to this specific place, and you are telling the reader about your
experience.
- You may decorate the brochure with magazine cut-outs or
printed pictures of things that are related to your researched country.
(examples: food, people, clothing, instruments, etc.)
- Look over your travel brochure and make sure everything
is complete, accurate, and written in your own words. Make it presentable so that someone
would want to travel to your community! Make sure you share your
experience on your postcard!
- Attach the rubric to your report.
