Horrible Histories — Edinburgh Bus Tour Leaflet
29 Feb 2008
If you are looking for real-life examples of persuasive texts, take a look at this advertising leaflet for the Horrible Histories bus tour of Edinburgh

Last year Horrible Histories went on a bus tour. This promotional leaflet, an advertisement for the City Sightseeing bus tour of Edinburgh, offers an excellent example of a text designed to persuade its audience.
Available here as a downloadable document, the leaflet is a perfect complement to the A2 poster in the March 2008 issue of Literacy Time PLUS Ages 7 to 9, which features a promotional poster for the Horrible Histories national stage tour of 2008, and the accompanying press release, also available to download.
