China Brochure Project
Due: 3/25/13

with a group to create a brochure for people who are interested in traveling to Ancient
China (if there were time machines)! Your brochure must be informing the reader
about the various aspects of Ancient China! Make it interesting, colorful, and most
importantly, informative!
You may choose your own groups. There will be three people per group (some groups
may have four people). Each person in your group will be graded at the end of the
project and that will be a part of your grade.
The following information should be included on the brochure to make sure that you
have well informed travelers: (Each person should have 2 categories if you have 3
people in your group)

of family in China and who the Chinese lived with

