Introduction

• We all know that the economy is not so great
  right now. People are losing jobs or taking pay
  cuts. North Carolina's tourist industry has also
  taken a loss. People just aren't traveling as
  much because they just do not have the money.
  Your job is to create a brochure that convinces
  people that North Carolina and its four regions
  is the place to travel.

3
Task

• The brochure you create will have to contain all
  four regions. -For each region you will have to
  include at least one picture but no more than
  three. -You will include 2-3 characteristics of
  the region. For example the Tidewater region is
  influenced by the daily movement of the tides or
  that sounds distinguish the Tidewater region from
  other regions. -2-3 things to do in the region.
  For example in the Piedmont region you can go to
  the race track.

Task Continued

• -For each region you will need to use at least 3
  vocabulary words. -The other two pages will be
  yours to do whatever you like on them. It must
  relate to the brochure and convince people that
  North Carolina would be a great place to visit.
  It will have to have text on it SO IT CAN NOT BE
  JUST PICTURES. I included some suggestions for
  you.-testimonials of people who have gone to the
  regions -travel itinerary -different travel
  packages

Process

• Before we go to the computer lab -You should
  have decided the region's characteristics -How
  you would like to set up the brochure (what page
  will be what) -The tourist attractions for each
  region In the computer lab -You will have
  two computer lab days to work on the brochure
  -You can use your textbook, your notes, or the
  websites I have provided you to find your
  information. No other source is needed. -Once
  you finish putting all the information, pictures,
  and pages in order then you can play around with
  the font and colors.
