Create a brochure for a cause or course of action they are interested in. This assignment integrates a number of skills, including research, writing, and the use of technology. As opposed to writing papers, creating a brochure forces the student to prioritize information because the space on a brochure is limited. Students need to determine what information they want to communicate, and then communicate effectively in as few words as possible.
Students should identify the subject and target audience of their brochure.
Instructions:
1.Students are to create an advocacy brochure. The brochure must be appropriate for distribution in a public setting, and must be age-appropriate to a selected audience.
2.Students are to select a cause or course of action they believe in, and would be appropriate to share with the selected audience.
3.Students are to find facts and information through research on their selected topic and create an outline of essential information to include on their brochure.
4.Students are to create a first draft of the brochure, and have at least two fellow students (peer review) to look for structure, clarity, spelling and grammar.
Students can design their own brochure in a word-processing program, or go to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101043031033.aspx. There are 68 brochure templates online.
