LaSalle's Travel Brochure or
Poster
by Kitty Henderson, Senior Project Assistant/Educational
Coordinator
Texas Historical
Commission
Design a travel brochure or poster to attract people
to join La Salle's expedition to the New World. This will be the only
source of information for these potential travelers. Therefore, you
must sell them on the idea of going and what to expect in the New
World.
Your brochure or poster should explain the following
points:
- Who La Salle is and why he is traveling to the
New World.
- When the journey is taking place and how long it
will take.
- Where the journey will end, what type of climate
and land you will find, whether or not the land is inhabited, and
how you will live once in the New World.
- What type of obstacles, problems or dangers may
occur.
- What type of provisions and personnel items the
travelers may take along.
- The cost of the journey.
- Other information that might be useful to the
travelers, such as age limits, health requirements, and special
skills needed.
BE CREATIVE AND
PERSUASIVE!!! You want to recruit
settlers!
