For example, students might write and design a brochure aimed to make the reader want to visit China, Portugal, or their own hometown or one that explains the steps necessary to build a simple computer.
The brochure can inform, educate, persuade, explain, or instruct.

Lesson 1 has a team of students writing and designing a brochure describing a specific place or organization. This may be a contemporary, historical, or fictional time and place.
In Lesson 2 the students must create a brochure describing a specific process or project (assigned by the teacher or of their own choosing) such as "How to Dissect a Frog" or "Description and Assembly of a Basket of Fruit".
Lessons can be applied to a variety of ages and subject areas including Language Arts, Technical Writing, History, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Why use this format?
