Four brochures--For example, you select a topic
from chapter 2 or 3, then one from chapter 4, one for chapter 5, and so
on. Don't choose topics from the same chapter.DUE Week of : January
5th (in the main office.
Brochures may be handed in earlier).
You select an area from each target chapter to address in the brochure.
You select a particular target audience. For example, you may address all
brochures to parents. Or you may address one to parents, one to teachers, and
one to children, etc. You decide.
You want these brochures to be authentic, practical, usable in the future,
and part of your portfolio. So aim for "professional quality."
You will need to strike a balance between insufficient information, and too
much information. You don't want to overpower the reader. But you want enough
information to demonstrate that you have a good understanding of the topic and
your target audience.
You can construct these brochures using programs like WordPerfect, MS-Word,
MS-Publisher, etc. If you use a word processor your paper size would be
8.5 by 11 and you would set the page orientation to
landscape (not portrait). Set up three columns to align with your folds.
There will be a few samples available in class (in November).
There are also three
samples on-line that you can check (Click the bars in the left hand margin
on this page).
Include your name on the back panel and also cite the text as the source of
the information. Use paraphrase not quotations.
The Brochures are ranked in terms of three categories (Incomplete, Complete,
Outstanding).
Ranking is influenced by: organization, content, readability, graphics, reader
friendliness, presentation, creativity, and overall quality.
The marks tend to be very good for the Brochures and typically about 70-80% or
more students opt to do the Brochures.
