How to create a Roman Vacation Brochure

You are going to use Microsoft Publisher to design a brochure



Directions for Making a Brochure:	IMPORTANT- Choose a date in time to represent. Is it during the 500s B.C. when Rome was brand new? Or is it in the 100s A.D. when the Good Emperors ruled? Once you have chosen a date to represent, research what was happening in Rome at that time. The date you choose must be within the timeline we've studied.
Front Cover	In this section give a geographical description of Italy. Include in your description all surrounding landmarks. Include a picture
Inside Left	HISTORY - list and describe at least 6 interesting facts about Rome's history. Include a picture
Inside Center	ENTERTAINMENT - What type of entertainment is available in Rome? Use this section to describe all of the fun things to do while on vacation. Include a picture
Inside Right	POINTS OF INTEREST - Describe at least 2 interesting places to visit while staying in Rome. Include a picture
Back Left	BRIEF SUMMARY - describe Rome and why it is the perfect place for a vacation
Back Center	TRAVEL COMPANY - name your travel company and design a catchy slogan
Additional Instructions	- you will be given 1 class period to do your research and 2 class periods in the computer lab to complete the project - two sources other than your text must be used. Does not include pictures used from the internet. - no incomplete projects will be accepted. Use your class time wisely! - the project is worth 100 points - it is due on September 26

Spelling & Proofreading No spelling errors remain after one person other than the typist reads and corrects the brochure. No more than 1 spelling error remains after one person other than the typist reads and corrects the brochure. No more than 3 spelling errors remain after one person other than the typist reads and corrects the brochure. Several spelling errors in the brochure.

Writing - Organization Each section in the brochure has a clear beginning, middle, and end. Almost all sections of the brochure have a clear beginning, middle and end. Most sections of the brochure have a clear beginning, middle and end. Less than half of the sections of the brochure have a clear beginning, middle and end.

Content - Accuracy All facts in the brochure are accurate. 99-90% of the facts in the brochure are accurate. 89-80% of the facts in the brochure are accurate. Fewer than 80% of the facts in the brochure are accurate.

Graphics/Pictures Graphics go well with the text and there is a good mix of text and graphics. Graphics go well with the text, but there are so many that they distract from the text. Graphics go well with the text, but there are too few and the brochure seems "text-heavy". Graphics do not go with the accompanying text or appear to be randomly chosen.

Have fun! Be creative!
