“The Most Dangerous Game”
Travel Brochure Assignment
Directions: Create a travel brochure to advertise Ship Trap Island.
You are General Zaroff. Create a travel brochure to persuade people to come to Ship Trap Island. Of course
you don’t want the readers of your brochure to know what you really plan to do with them! How might you
pass off your island as a tourist attraction? You may want to include some inside jokes or references – “Ship
Trap Island… To Die For!”
Use images and language that are appropriate for General Zaroff. Consider details of setting carefully when
you choose images and “attractions” for your brochure. Use Microsoft Publisher to make a tri-fold brochure.
Use all six sides and include substantial text, not just pictures. Tell your potential audience what you have to
offer and WHY they should come.
