Sarah Bender Media Presentation Rationale

This project is designed for students in grade 3-5 with a low intermediate proficiency in English. I used Pinterest to create this project, and the students will have to use the computer for their research. On my Pinterest board there are links to many different travel destinations. Students are required to choose a destination and make a travel brochure using the template on Google Docs. Through their research of the different destinations, students will be exposed to reading and listening activities about the places. There will also be travel brochures available for examples and more information about certain places.

All of these websites are linked through Pinterest, and they give information about many different places. Students pick one destination (from teacher’s list) and they are required to create a travel brochure using the template from Google Docs. This project gives students exposure to many different places around the world including places their families are from.

Creating a travel brochure and doing the Pinterest webquest is the culminating activity of the travel unit. Students will have a lot of prior knowledge about traveling and travel vocabulary in order to create their brochures. They will be required to use this information in their brochures.

This activity will help students become familiar with many places all over the world, while also learning about traveling. This is useful for vacations students might go on, including visits to the country that they (or their families) are from. The vocabulary and language they will learn is good for lifelong learning.

During this web activity, students are directed to many different websites through Pinterest. These include the following: photography.nationalgeographic.com travelbrochures.org youtube.com visitmexico.com
