Target :
To CREATE a TOURIST LEAFLET or a POSTER to PROMOTE a FAMOUS AMERICAN LOCATION
Your task: Imagine you got hired by a travel agency in the US. Your mission is to create a tourist leaflet or a poster to promote the location you want to defend.
You will be working in pairs. Remember what we've studied in class so far (categories of information to be found in a tourist leaflet or a poster such as: map of the destination/ a few historical and geographical facts/ accomodations/things to do/ tours/ prices, or how to express your enthusiasm) and don't forget that your leaflet or poster has to be clear and attractive: yor goal is to make people think "wow, it's gonna be awesome!"
1) The first step is to gather general information:
Have a look first at general websites:
Some information on the USA and its symbols
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/history/us/symbols/
Some information on cities or states etc. : www.factmonster.com
2) The second step is to go and check websites about the particular location you are working on:
If you don't understand a word and you really need to know what it means, you can go and check on the following website: you'll find a translation and synonyms for this word:
