Rhetorical Tourism Page
This page is meant to feature an overview of your selected country. It is meant to be persuasive in nature.
There are four tasks to this section of the project: Country Bio, Commercial/Persuasive Analysis, Google Map + Site Overview, and Slideshow. Students will also analyze the entire page for persuasive elements. Read below for detailed directons.
Using the persuasive techniques learned throughout the semester, students will create a web page to convince viewers to travel to a selected country. Students should first research other sites that share a similar purpose to get ideas. Below are a couple to get students started. Students should informally analyze the web sites for their rhetorical devices and then take some ideas from them.
Turkey Tourism - http://www.turkeytourism.com/
Ecuador Tourism - http://www.ecuadortouristboard.com/
South Africa Tourism - http://www.southafrica.net/sat/content/en/us/us-home
There are four tasks for students to complete on this page, all of which will require students to persuade an audience to travel to their country.
1. Country Bio

2. Tourism Commercial
Students will create a persuasive tourism commercial. It should be approximately 60 seconds in length. They will use a worksheet (see attachment below) to analyze their use of rhetorical techniques.
