Treasure Island Brochure
Your task is to create a travel brochure for a location described in the book Treasure Island. Locations include: The Admiral Benbow Inn, The Spyglass Tavern, The Hispaniola, and Skull Island. No idea what a travel brochure is? They are those little flyers that you see at fast food restaurant entrances about local places.
To create your brochure you may either use a Microsoft Publisher template or make one by hand with construction paper. If you choose to make one by hand I expect it to be of the highest quality and not rushed! Your brochure needs to be double sided and include both visuals and text related to your location. It needs to be a tri-fold style and have your location stated on the cover.
Ideas for things that you can put in your brochure: pictures of the location, a map, people enjoying your location, themed graphics, quotes from the book about the location, descriptions, pretend quotes from people that have travelled there, and so much more!
