VISIT+______


 * READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE STARTING YOUR ASSIGNMENT:**

Long before people booked their travel on websites like Expedia, Priceline, and Travelocity - people went to travel agencies. It was not uncommon that these places would have advertisements or brochures for destinations around the globe. For todays class your task is to create a poster using KEYNOTE POSTER highlighting. a city in the Middle East.

When people hear the phrase "Middle East" thoughts of violence or unrest tend to be the first things that come to mind... but this region is also home to some amazing cities! Today (and probably sometime outside of class as well) you will examine ONE city from this region.

The list on the bottom of the page will tell you what city you are responsible for researching and creating a travel poster. This poster must highlight the positive aspects of this city. Think about why people would visit this place - it is your job to SELL the city as a desirable location to visit!

Consider the following: 1) Is this a historical location? If so, why or what can be found here? What happened here in the past? 2) What types of things are done for entertainment here? (Music, art, food, shopping) 3) Is there unique architecture or buildings that are common here? 4) What role does religion (if any) in this city?

Here is what you MUST have in your poster: 1) A fitting theme/background to your poster 2) The name of your city displayed somewhere that is easily seen 3) 6 Different "Selling points" or why you think people may visit this city (go back to the "CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING" hints above)
 * you need a brief description for each selling point
 * you need a picture for each characteristic as well

YOU MUST PRINT YOUR POSTER OFF (in color if possible) BY CLASS TUESDAY, APRIL 22nd!
 * There are no excuses for not being done - you will have a full class period and a 5 days outside of class to complete this task!

In class on Tuesday, we will be posting your work and taking a "walking tour" of the great cities of the Middle East!
