Then brainstorm on the board things that should be included in a travel brochure such as climate, historical sites, and points of interest. Discuss how having a brochure that looks appealing would encourage tourists to visit a location. Have the students research their place using the materials provided. When students are ready to the start their brochures, show then how to fold their construction paper into thirds. Remind students to include enough information so that anyone reading the brochure can make a informed decision about whether or not to visit the location.
Students can illustrate then using magazines or drawing.
At the end of class have each pair present their brochure giving reasons why one should visit. Explain that this poster represents Henry Ford. Teacher then will explain how her pocketful of history describes Henry Ford. The class will be divided into groups of 4. 4. Each group will be assigned 1 name from Detroit's past.
