“The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell
Due Wednesday, September 26th
Task: Journalism takes on many different forms. We have looked at news and now I want you to do something a little more creative. After reading “The Most Dangerous Game” I want you to create a travel brochure for Ship Trap Island. You will want to make the brochure appealing for people interested in traveling to an exotic place. Be creative and think outside the box. How are you going to get visitors interested in this particular location?
Steps:
Read the story and think about its assets – if you were a travel agent, what kinds of details would you use to make people interested in it?
Select several features of the island that you want to play up and write a short description of them.
Use Zaroff’s house as the “hotel” or lodging accommodations
Create a brochure which successfully gets the interest of potential vacationers
Tips:
Think about your audience
Select appropriate language and visuals
Use the facts and details from the story to help effectively convey your message
Ask questions if you don’t understand something
You will graded on how complete your brochure is, how effective it is in playing up the islands “highlights”, and how thoughtful you are in it’s presentation.
You will lose 5 points for every day it is late… so please get it in on time.
