A Travel Brochure

How can I make a brochure?

Learning the Basics

Plan Fold a piece of paper in thirds and concisely

write their information on it with art, they can make a brochure. It can be completed on the computer or without the aid of the computer

Prepare the Materials Needed: Have the following available: paper, colored pencils, markers, photos, artwork, a computer, color printer and access to the Internet, if available.

Preparatory procedureStep 1: Decide on a purpose and a specific

topic. Most brochures are made to inform the reader about the topic. However, if the brochure is about the traditions and values of selected Asian and African countries. You may need to do some research to add more information and complete your brochure. You should list your resources at the bottom of one panel.

Step 2: Make a draft of the six panels. There are three panels on each side of the paper. It can be folded many ways, but the six panels need to be planned out on a piece of notebook paper.

Front Panel: This should have the title, name of the student, and basic information about the topic. A picture, clip art or small piece of artwork about the topic is a nice addition.

Other Five Panels: Display information with subtitles, pictures, clip art, and designs.

Students should decide what main information they want to display and tell about their topics. For example, if students are making a travel brochure about a country, one panel could be about the beaches in the country. If there are many beaches, students will need to choose the most important ones to them. A picture is always a nice addition.

Constructing the Brochure Step 3: Once the brochure is planned, student can

begin working on their final product. If students are making the brochure on the computer, they can use Microsoft Word software. The paper can be set up on "landscape" and each side of the paper can be split into three panels by making three columns on each page.

Students can insert clip art, photos and scanned artwork. This will take time to complete. The teacher will need to schedule the computer lab or assign students to construct the brochure as homework.

If students are not using the computer, they need to neatly write their information on each panel and glue photos or clip art to the brochure.

Assessing the Brochure with a Rubric

The brochure can be assessed using a rubric. Again, key criteria could be accuracy, neatness, creativity and appropriate use of color.
