What Is a Brochure? A Kid-Friendly Definition
You've probably seen your fair share of brochures over the years, and maybe you've even made a few of your own for a meet-the-teacher night. But how do you explain them to your students? Try this kid-friendly definition from our teacher team!
A brochure is a document that presents facts, ideas and images in a visually appealing and organized format. Brochures comprise multiple sections or panels that contain headings, text, pictures and illustrations to share knowledge about a specific topic or subject in a simple and visually pleasing way.
As a classroom or at-home project, a brochure will allow you to showcase your research and creative skills by presenting information about your chosen topic in an attractive and informative way.
How to Use Brochure Templates in the Classroom
This collection of teaching resources is stocked with templates that you can use for easy lesson planning, but we haven't stopped there! Here are a few ideas for adding brochure projects to increase students' participation in the learning process.
- Make Brochures for Field Trips. After a trip to a local landmark or museum, have students create brochures detailing what they learned! This will reinforce active observation skills and reflection.
- Create "Travel" Brochures to Assess Student Understanding of Animal Studies. Have students choose a place somewhere in the world and create their own travel brochures focused on the animal life in that destination. For example, a brochure about the Galapagos could focus on the tortoise, its traits and its survival needs. Students can detail where a traveler would go to see the animal and a description of the habitat.
- Add a Brochure to Science Projects. Are students participating in a science fair? Add a brochure template element to the assignment, challenging students to detail any hypotheses, observations and results in a simple way.
- Use Brochures as Informational Texts. Before students make their own, why not collect brochures from different cities across the US to use as informational texts in your classroom? This is a great way for students to learn about other states and regions!
- Create Expression of Opinion (Persuasive Text) Brochures. Students can design brochures that convince other students to use active travel modes to get to school (walk, ride, scoot, public transportation, etc.).
- Make Travel Brochures for Washington, D.C. Assess students' knowledge of our capital city with an assignment that challenges them to design a brochure for visitors to Washington, D.C., including the features of three significant places to visit, such as the Capitol Building or the Washington Monument.
- Design a Brochure for the School Library. Students can advertise the top novels in the library with mini book reviews to encourage their peers to read them.
