Egyptian Department of Tourism 1234 Pyramid Lane Giza 12111 Egypt Re: Tourism Del Mar Middle School

105 Avenida Miraflores Belvedere-Tiburon CA 94920 United States Attn: Mr. Biddles Class Dear Sixth Grade Students: Egypts Department of Tourism needs your help. Many of our most ancient and iconic symbols are struggling to attract visitors from the United States due to recent turmoil in our region. The citizens of Egypt rely heavily on American tourists and the money they spend on museums, hotels, and sightseeing activities. Your task is to create a 2minute persuasive infomercial that will encourage more Americans to visit one of the many ancient cities of Egypt. Remember, there are many places for tourists to visit: Giza, Abu Simbel, Luxor, and the Valley of the Kings just to name a few. Select ONE region to research and promote. The Department of Tourism values your creativity, analytical skills, and academic expertise (especially in the field of Egyptology). We expect your infomercial to incorporate ethos, logos and pathos to persuade our clients. Even more important, we expect your short film to convince Americans to visit our glorious country and explore the ancient wonders of Egypt. Finally, Egypts tourism department requires a complete infomercial by Thursday, February 14th. Please note that any submissions sent after the due date will not be considered. Sincerely,

Imhotep Smith
Egyptian Department of Tourism
