Description
For this project you will create a brochure to advertise Williamsburg or
Jamestown, which ever you chose in your letter. Your goal is to bring people
to either of these places. Keep in mind that many people during this time
could not read so your brochure should have lots of pictures and only a few
words. Make sure you write down where you get your information from.
