Exploring Travel Texts

Jetaway: Your Passport to Exciting Explorations in Travel Texts

"Jetaway" is a highly engaging student-centred unit which inspires students to create a travel expo marketing a destination of their choice. Students demonstrate the skills and roles of travel industry professionals to design a travel brochure as a key feature of a multimedia shopfront. The unit employs the Quality Teaching element of Narrative for self and peer reflection and integrates ICT, visual literacy, numeracy and strategies for the gifted and talented. Students explore the language features of a range of travel texts which provide models for their own travel writing. The planning and presentation of the travel expo is a challenging, rich and authentic learning experience for students to share with peers and other members of the school community.
