Social Studies Lesson on Costa Rica #2
Sara Broughton
Title: Designing a Travel Brochure
Date/Time/Length: Thursday March 29, 1997: 9:15-10:15
a.m.; 12:35-1:35 p.m. and Friday March 21, 1997: 9:15-10:15 a.m.
Performance Expectations: The students will create a travel
brochure demonstrating their knowledge of Costa Rica. Creativity,
neatness, and accurate information are expected and will be taken
into account when assigning a grade.
Content Area: Language Arts and Social Studies
Strategy: writing, drawing, using previous knowledge,
and presenting activity
Materials: construction paper, crayons or markers, and
pen or pencil
Directions: The students will have two hours on Thursday
to work on this activity. Each student will be given a large
piece of construction paper which they will use for the actual
brochure. They will then spend the next two hours creating their
brochure by adding illustrations and text. The students are to
pretend they are working for a travel agency so they want to make
Costa Rica seem as appealing as possible. They want to convince
people that a trip to Costa Rica will be the vacation of their
dreams, therefore their brochures should be pleasant to look at
and should highlight places of interest. Some examples are: the
rain forests, the beaches, museums, and the National Theater.
The students should label their pictures and include brief descriptions
and information about Costa Rica. The teacher should have some
examples of travel brochures so the students can get some ideas.
On Friday the students will present their brochure to the rest
of the class. This is an opportunity for the students once again
to demonstrate their knowledge of Costa Rica. This activity
will be used as a means of assessment for the entire Costa Rican
unit. The brochures will be displayed in the halls for the entire
school to see.
Adaptation: Once again the students might need more time
to work on this activity. The teacher may want to have the students
write their information on a piece of scratch paper and then check
for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and accuracy, since each of
these things are very important for an actual travel brochure.
Evaluation: The students will receive a grade for this
activity. The type of grade is up to the individual teacher.
A rubric should be given to the students so they know exactly
what is expected of them and how the points are going to be distributed.
This activity will be a major part of their grade for the unit.
