LEARNING ADVICE

Equally divide the workload among the team members.

 Everyone must be involved in the research and development process.

Each person should be responsible for their roles.

·        Make your brochure eye catching as well as informative.

o       Use pictures, drawings, photographs, and film to make your brochure visibly attractive

o        Each person should find at least 1 picture or graphic for each of the four sections they are covering

·        Keep information user friendly-

o       Create a desire to come and explore the many facets of your country.

o       Include as many pages as you need to "sell" your country and describe your trip to the travelers!

·        Visit a travel agency

o       They have great brochures!!!

·        You cannot download all information found at a site.

o       Copy and paste pertinent information into a separate word file for your editing and final copy. This can be done by opening up a new Word document, giving it a name and then minimizing it while you go to the links. Then copy and paste appropriate information onto your Word file for rewriting. 

o       Check out Microsoft Publisher in the Media Center or if you have Microsoft Office at home.  This program makes brochures. 

·        Complete source log sheets and a working bibliography page for all resources used.

o       Complete role sheets for each person. Write brief journal entry as to what each person does each day.

·        The final product must be typed/word processed.

o       Final print copy should be in your own creative words not those that you borrowed!
