Persuasive Letter
Students will write a persuasive letter to their parents convincing them to go on vacation to their state. This is a five paragraph letter, with a greeting and salutation, and body paragraphs that would convince your parents to visit. Think of activities that your family likes to do or see as you compose your letter. This should be personal...your family wants to have fun on vacation and eat good food!

Tagul
You will need to create a word cloud using Tagul for your state. It must be in the shape of your state. There must be at least 10 words having to do with your state in your word cloud. This can range from state symbols, cities, or anything else related to your state. Students looking for an added challenge may build 1-2 more word clouds incorporating iconic symbols from your state (i.e. Golden Gate Bridge or the Hollywood sign for California). If you do build additional word clouds be sure to challenge yourself by incorporating a different list of state related words or phrases. Students will go to Tagul site to begin the creation of their word cloud. This Tagul word cloud will then be added to your Google slides.

License Plate
Students will draw a "new" license plate for their state, using colored pencils to create a unique license plate of their state. This should incorporate famous sights, symbols and culture of the state. (Please do not replicate the existing license plate). When completed, upload a picture of your license plate and include in the Google slide presentation.

Tourism Ad
You are now working for the tourism board for your state. They have asked you to create a 30-60 second add to draw tourists to your state. You need to determine what are major attractions for your state to draw in tourists. Why will people want to pay money to visit your state? You may use WeVideo, Imovie, or any other video making tool at your disposal. Creativity is encouraged with this project. Bring your A game and wow the crowd.
You will need to start by storyboarding your ad, using Google slides, into a workable format. You will be presenting your ads on May 24.
