entice your reader to visit the far-out locations featured in your
brochure.

3.
Your brochure must include the following:
-
An interesting cover,
with an illustration of the story setting. The name of the location
must be easy to read. Also include "This brochure was prepared
by (your name)."
-
A list of creatures
in this fantasy location (main characters). Provide illustrations
of the "friendly inhabitants."
-
A detailed description
of the locations, telling why it would be an ideal vacation spot.
-
Create a description

a script for your commercial and rehearse it in front of family members.
Make sure you have a lead-in that grabs audience attention. Be concise,
using only the most interesting details. Work hard to convince your
