About This Lesson
Eighth grade students used Microsoft Publisher 2007 to create 8 1/2" X 11"; two-fold brochures about social issues. They conducted research on the Internet; then worked with this copy [text]; their own words and pictures to put together these informational publications. The duality of the project placed the students in a situation to focus on issues they may address later in life in academia and at the workplace; and produce products ... brochures ... via publishing software to hone their skills in this respect and as they apply to this vocation.
