Writing Skills for Term 3

BROCHURE / PAMPHLET / LEAFLET / FLYER / ADVERTISEMENT

For more ideas on the language, style, tone of a brochure/pamphlet/ leaflet use these websites -


Liverpool - The Greatest City in the World

London - The Capital City

•What all of these formats have in common is that they are concerned to give information quickly and concisely. The task may define an emphasis on informing (e.g the health leaflet) or on promoting (e.g. the publicity brochure).

Basic Format

- Main heading (informing), or eye-catching slogan (promoting)

- Use of manageable multiple sections : identified by bullet points, lines, stars, numbers in order to highlight key information

- Subheadings : used to show the steps/stages of the argument

- Succinct explanation : individual concepts / ideas are presented clearly and quickly

- Background information : e.g. 'Contact us' + phone number / email

Approach

Ø'address' - you must directly address the target audience

Ø´promotional language' – usually, these text types are all encouraging, they encourage the target audience to agree with what is being presented, to 'buy theidea‘ – use STYLE and RHETORICAL DEVICES to achieve this effect 

ØClear step-by-step overall argument : individual points are linked together into a convincing sequence of ideas
