Travel Posters (English)

Purpose: Show how setting can function as a character in literature

The Process:

1. Start with a poster about a place you have been and unpack it
   • What is the goal or overall message of the poster?
   • What words are used to convey the message?
   • How are images and color used to convey the message?
   • What is enticing about visiting this place? How does the poster make that clear?
   • Having been to this place, what would you add to or remove from this poster?

2. Consider your content

• Where is the story set? (start big: country; then narrow it: city, town, street, building, room)
• What is the mood of the setting? How does being there make you feel?
• How do you get to this place? Is anyone allowed there?
• Consider your senses: what would you see, taste, touch, hear, smell in this place?

3. Tech tools

• Brainstorm in Google docs
• Image search online or use phone to take pictures
• Use Google Slides or Draw, Canva, or Adobe Spark to layout your poster
