You and 3 of your classmates will be designing and creating a 

travel brochure by using internet web sites.  Within this 

brochure, you will be including general information about each 

of your Asian countries and areas of historical and 

recreational interest. You will also include pictures to make 

your destinations more appealing. Remember, you are trying 

to "sell" your ideas to potential clients.

First you need to choose the 4 Asian countries you wish to 

include in your brochure.

Each of you need to research your country. 

Once all information has been collected, as individuals you 

must sort through your collection, selecting the important 

stuff and discarding the rest.  You will then need to write a 

description, in a persuasive form, for your brochure.  

Persuasive language uses lots of detailed descriptions, 

action verbs, and imaginative phrases.

Check out:   http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/nso/asian/  

for ideas on Asian travel.

After everything has been gathered and rough drafts 

written, your group has to decide where they will go 

first and how long they will stay there. The trip is to be 

three weeks long. You need to find out how much airfare is 

to each country and flight schedule. There are links below 

for each of the major airlines.

You need to find the currency exchange for your countries.

The brochure should be colorful and informative. 

A map of the world should also be included with a star on 

each of the destinations visited.

You are print your collections and cut and paste them by 

hand onto a piece of paper.
