Travel Writing/Setting Brochure: Reading Response Exercise #58

~ Debby Zigenis-Lowery

Read for at least twenty to thirty minutes. When you are done, think about what you have read.

Get out a pencil and paper, and art supplies if you feel inspired.

Write the text of a travel brochure (or make an actual three-fold brochure) based on an important setting from your reading. Be sure you describe the:

  • Geography
  • Weather
  • Major cities
  • Attractions
  • Methods of transportation
  • Form of government
  • Economy
  • Currency,
  • Dining and lodging options

Also, provide a list of what the traveler would need to bring along when visiting this place.

Share your brochure with your reading partners.

Preschool Literacy: After enjoying a story together, talk about its setting with your preschooler. Was it indoors or outdoors? What was actually there where your story took place.

When done, get out a paper and art materials or magazines for cutting up, and draw a picture or make a collage of the setting of the story.

I am an author and retired teacher/librarian who loves to read, write, and encourage others. I am a passionate journaler and a writer of poetry, folktale retellings, and folkloric/historical fantasy novels for both middle grade readers and adults. My mission is to write tales of magic and heart, and to encourage readers to wonder, marvel, and follow their dreams. Although an avid reader of the fantasy genre--for all ages, I also love historical fiction, and my latest favorite is historical mystery, although I could never imagine trying to write one! Here at Literate Lives, I blog about many aspects of pursuing a literate lifestyle in our high-speed world. I hope to be of help to parents, teachers, and writers (even those who write solely for themselves) in the practice and nurturing of a reading/writing lifestyle in both home and school. My greatest reward would be for my readers to see me as a friend.
