File 5: Tijuana Brochure

In this task you have to create a brochure about a preferred place in Tijuana which you would like to recommend to others. It cannot be any place since the idea behind this task is to recommend places for slowing down and eating healthy.

Think of public places, restaurants, hotels, spas, cafes and any other place where one can go and have a nice time in the company of family, friends or even alone.

Through out this activity you will have to collect information about a place and, most importantly prioritize so that only the most important things about the place make it to the final version of the brochure. When in doubt about what to include and exclude from a brochure, it is always a good idea to look at ones from other places so go out and pick up flyers, pamphlets and brochures from your favorite places and take note as to how they made them and what is actually on the paper.

In the table below you will find all of the information you need for completing this task successfully.

5. HOW WILL I KNOW I HAVE FINISHED?	I have an original handmade or printed brochure created by me. I have enough photocopies for everyone else in the class, including the teacher. I have thought about how I will make my class presentation and possibly taken some notes.
6. HOW WILL I PRESENT THIS IN CLASS?	This task is to be presented in the classroom using the conference mode. There usually is a lot of activity happening throughout the entire session since half of the class is presenting their brochures and the other is visiting each of the presenters. A handout which has everyone's name and spaces for notes is given to students. The class is divided in half. One half is designated as "presenters" and the other "visitors." A presenter sits in one chair and a visitor in another while facing each other. The presenter gives on brochure to the visitor. In about 5 to 10 minutes the presenter shows the brochure and talks about the most important things and recommendations in the brochure. The visitor can ask questions at any time in order to get more specific information about any of the parts being presented. Once time is up or the presentation is over, the visitor places a check mark next to the presenter's name as well as take any desired notes in the handout and proceeds to go to different presenter. When the visitor has been with all current presenters, he or she takes a chair and becomes a presenter. By the end of the class all names in the handout must have a check mark and all students must have a copy of each brochure presented.
