Perhaps some of your students are fortunate enough to have traveled this past summer. On the other hand, if they haven't, you could provide them a travel experience through a story. Or, your students could choose a place they would like to visit, and research the details. In any or all of these cases, students might enjoy creating a travel brochure, and expanding their detail-writing skills while they're at it.
First, collect travel brochures and pass them around. Give kids the opportunity to see a final product before asking them to create one.
Next, give students graphic organizers for gathering details about the place.
Third, have two brochure templates for each student. One will be used as a first draft.
Provide an editing checklist so students may check their spelling, punctuation, and clarity.
Finally, they will use a second brochure template to fill in their prepared text, arrange it the way they want, and decorate the brochure with art.
