2ND QUARTER READING PROJECT
TRAVEL BROCHURE
Do you think tourists would enjoy visiting the setting of the book you read? What attractions would they find in this place? What could they do for entertainment? What
could they see and learn about? Imagine that you work for a travel agency and you have been asked to design a brochure to advertise this place. (If your book has more
than one setting, choose the most unusual and interesting one.)
DIRECTIONS:
(1) Find a science fiction or fantasy book that interests you and is at an appropriate reading level for you. Have your book approved by your teacher.
Book Title:
Author:
2) Describe the setting (time and place) of the book. If the book is set in more than one place, describe the most interesting or unusual one.

(5) Hold a sheet of paper horizontally and fold the paper in thirds to form a brochure. First, fold the third on the right. Then fold the third on the left.
(6) On the front flap of the brochure, write the name of the place. If it does not have a specific name in the book, make up a name that sounds interesting, Illustrate the front flap with one or two of the main attractions of this place. You might add a sentence or two to entice travelers to read your brochure. Write the title and author somewhere on the front of the brochure.
(7) Plan the inside of the brochure before you begin writing or drawing. Include as many attractions as you can. Write reasons that travelers would want to visit each attraction. If there is not a lot to se or do in this setting, be creative and think about how you would make this place appealing to tourists.
(8) On the back panel, write a few paragraphs to provide any additional information that might persuade travelers to visit. Also explain interesting events that took place in this setting. At the bottom write: For more information on [name of your place] contact [your name].
