BIOME BROCHURE PROJECT
A travel brochure/presentation gives detailed information about a certain travel destination. It will usually explain the location, unique features, things to do, and how to travel there. They also give information as to the climate, weather at different times of year and best times to travel to the area in order to avoid natural disasters. For example, you would not want to a rain forest during monsoon season.
You will make your brochure/presentation using a page you will create in the Your Biome Tour Pages folder. The title will be the name of your tour. Think about how you will use your content blocks. There is a limit of 20 active blocks on a page which allows you a lot of leeway in how you want to set things up. You can include easily videos as well as pictures and links in your content blocks. You will want to convey information that would entice someone to take your tour.
In this project you will create a travel brochure advertising travel to a biome of your choice. The brochure page needs to be unique and creative and must include:
Pick a specific area with at least 3 stops.
Show and tell where the location is using a map
Modes of transportation to get there AND used once you are there. (Keep topography in mind; will you need a snowmobile, can you walking around or ride a dune buggy, can you only get there by boat??)
Where will you stay?
Advertising strategies/ Selling points (Why would someone want to go there? How are you going to attract travelers? What else is there to do?)
Plant and Animals that are unique to your biome (give at least 8 of each)
Information about climate: temperature, rainfall- suggesting the weather for certain months and therefore best time to travel… what is the climate like in different months?)
Would any special instructions need to be given before visiting your destination? I.E. vaccines for regional diseases/illness, bottled water, money, safety concerns, danger from natural disasters that occur at specific times of year?
List the cost of the trip. Make up a reasonable price!
Include at least six photos, drawings or other types of artwork that help describe and promote your biome vacation spot. All photos must have captions along with source info (photographer/publisher and copyright date or url).
Include interesting or unusual facts that tourists may not know about.
The brochure should be informational and convince potential tourists to spend money on your trip. Try moving your blocks around to make the page attractive.
Other ideas for your brochure:
Ecological issues or concerns
Human impacts
Types of foods
Landforms, bodies of water (or lack of), etc.
