Tips: Unit 6 Assignment Brazil or India
Student Name
HU250—section number
Feel free to follow this guide to ensure you include all of the elements in the Unit 6 Assignment. Share written work below the slide in the area marked “Click to add notes” and use the slide itself for images and keywords. This is a list of tips and suggestions, but do aim to be creative, to employ images and themes on the slides, and to put your personal stamp on the Assignment.
You are welcome to write the paper in Word instead of PowerPoint, but this guide will help you in organization. You are welcome to use images to add content in either Word or PowerPoint.

(Instructions)
For this Assignment, you will pretend that you are making an appeal to the administration to allow your class to visit either Brazil or India. There is fictional grant money available for certain class activities, and the money must be spent by the end of the year. This would solve the administration’s need to spend the budgeted funds, but you must persuade the administration that your trip would be a valuable use of that money. Your goal is to persuade the administration to fund your class trip. You may put together a presentation in either PowerPoint of Word. The presentation must be between 600-750 words and include at least two outside sources that are cited in APA style.
You do not need to keep the instructions in your project as you create it. They will be used here to help walk you through the requirements for the project.

(Which Country Will You Choose?)
Post introductory information about the country on 1-3 slides.
Part of the assignment is to be persuasive, so begin your persuasive appeal by explaining the importance of your chosen destination.
First, decide if you will be encouraging a trip to either India or Brazil. You will need to conduct research on the country you select, including activities for tourists to do, popular trends in travel to this country, common sights for visitors, and the cultural influences and history.
(Sales Pitch)
Preview the three activities as a full tour on one slide (or paragraph, if completing the assignment in Word). In the next slides/paragraphs, you will discuss them one at a time.
You will highlight at least three activities that students can participate in while in your selected country. Since students should be learning about cross-cultural influences in either India or Brazil, you will want to feature activities that highlight these elements in your trip. Aim to make the tour plausible. While there will be interesting opportunities all over the country, you should select three activities that can also be reached with ease. For example, you may have two activities in one city and make the third a day trip to a location that can be reached by bus or train.
(Event 1)
Explain the first event, sight, city, or activity on the tour.
Share information about an itinerary, historical context, and explain why this event would be worth a visit!
How will this help students meet the objective of “investigating how cultures have mixed, changed, and influenced each other and the results.”
Feel free to use images and research.

(The Pitch)
Remember that historical accuracy, style, and proper citation will be considered in the assessment of the Assignment. You are writing this as an appeal to the administration to send students abroad, so build credibility, emotional appeals, and logical appeals.
Offer reasons why this would be a good investment of university time and money. Discuss the lessons and experiences that will come with this tour.
(References)
You will need at least two sources in the project, but more sources may help you to offer more information to build interest in your appeal.
The assignment should be 600-750 words.
Offer full end reference APA citation of sources here. Ensure that you have also cited the works listed here within the presentation or essay as well.
