How are you my dear students? Third quarter is over. How did you like the lessons we tackle from the last grading period? Did you find challenging?I know some of you might think it was so hard but that is learning anyway. Let’s face the last quarter of the school year with an all smile , time is so fast.
I would like you to introduce a new application. I know some of you are familiar with Desktop Publishing.
Have you ever tried visiting places other than our province or country, amusement parks and elsewhere which you are interested? Or you might have attended events or festivals ? Try to ask from the information desk or even the tourism authority about facts that features different places, products, services and and organization. Surely,they will provide you the best information you want to know.

Now,I have another challenge to you my dear students.
Your task is to explore your community. Create a brochure about place /organization that informs, educates, or persuades. The topic should give enough information to grab and keep the readers interest from start to finish.
You may cover a broad topic but it shouldn’t contain so much information that it overwhelms the reader. Choose 2 to 3 key points about the place/ organization to describe. If there are other important elements, consider listing them in a simple bullet list or chart somewhere in your brochure.
Decide the best format to present your information. Different formats work best for brochures with lots of text, lots of pictures, small blocks of text, lists, charts, or maps.
After creating your brochure, submit a hardcopyand softcopy for evaluation. Post your softcopy in my wordpress e-class. Make a link to your wordpress.
Good Luck!
