Explanation

A brochure is written for new pupils, parents and visitors. It can include a plan of the school, pictures, facilities (library, gym, computer room), the curriculum and timetable, extra-curricular activities, the uniform, school rules, the discipline and anti-bullying policy and a calendar with holidays. The style should be clear, short, friendly but respectful. Rules can be written in the passive or with must: Running is not permitted on the stairs. Pupils must wear uniform. Headings and pictures make reading easier. At the presentation the group shows the brochure and others say what is best: I like the clear plan because ... .

Worked examples
Welcome to School No. 15! We are a friendly school with a modern library, a gym and a computer room. Lessons start at 8.00. Every pupil is encouraged to join a club, and everyone is treated with respect.
Evaluation (own sample): I like the colourful cover because it attracts attention. The timetable is clear. You could add a map of the building.
Class activity

Groups make a brochure page and display it; pupils leave two positive comments and one suggestion on sticky notes.
