I know that you have all seen a tri-fold brochure before. It is essentially an document that is turned on its side and folded so there are 3 sections.

Here is an example

If you have never made one of these before- then please watch You Tube videos, or contact the writing center to assist you. LEARNING HOW TO MAKE A TRI-FOLD BROCHURE IS A REQUIREMENTS. It is an excellent tool. Do not submit a 4 page paper or a document that's just a table with 3 columns.

When I grade your work I imagine that I would print this out, fold it and hand it to your patient.

• Is it professional?

• Are all 6 sides fully developed (DO NOT waste space! You do not need an address page)

• Are the references tucked away neatly in a small area (suggest using 8 pt font for 2-3 references at the bottom of one of your pages- it should not detract from the content)

• Will the patient learn what they need based on the assignment instructions

• Are there visuals (pictures) that supplement the content but do not detract. In other words, don't put a huge picture on each side of the brochure with minimal content and expect to get full credit. It should be balanced and professional looking.
