Biome Travel Brochure

Biome Travel Brochure

You are going to create a 1 page, 2 sided travel brochure to a biome of your choice.  Your project will be word processed with color pictures and information on your biome.  You will follow the following format:

                        Side 1                                                              Side 2

 

8�         Back                Front                            8�         inside                inside

            Cover               cover                                        page 1              page 2

 

 

                        11�                                                                   11�

 

Side One of your sheet of paper will have the front and back covers of your brochure.  The left half of your paper will be the back cover and the right half will be your front cover.  The following content must be included:

Back Cover

/5             10 neat and interesting facts about your biome, not mentioned elsewhere in your brochure

/3             3 neat and interesting pictures related to the 10 facts above

 

Front Cover

/5             The large, boldfaced name of your biome described using alliteration (Big Brown Bull)

/5             A map of the world, with your biome shaded in

/2             a catchy slogan as to why we should visit your biome

 

 

Side Two of your sheet of paper will have the inside pages of your brochure with most of your information.  The following content must be included:

Inside Page 1

/2pts       Average daily temperature of your biome

/4pts       Chart or graph of seasonal temperatures of your biome (with seasons and numbers)

/2pts       Average daily precipitation of your biome

/4pts       Chart or graph of seasonal precipitation of your biome (with seasons and numbers)

/3pts       Attire guide as how visitors should dress while visiting your biome & why

/3pts       At least 3 activities that visitors will participate in while visiting your biome

 

Inside Page 2

/4pts       Fauna: 2 animals commonly found in your biome with a picture of the animal and at least 2 special adaptations it has for living in that biome

/4pts       Flora: 2 plants commonly found in your biome with a picture of the plant and at least 2 special adaptations it has for living in that biome

/4pts       2 Symbiotic relationships that are commonly found in your biome (each relationship should include the 2 organisms involved, what kind of symbiosis it is, and WHY it is that symbiosis)

 

Brochures should be neat and word processed.  You can draw your graphs and can color in your own pictures (by hand), provided you do so neatly, accurately and realistically.  This project is worth 50 points.  Links for information and pictures will be posted on the website.  Don’t forget your textbook as a valuable source for information

For extra credit you may bring in any biofacts or artifacts from your biome (currency, food, a professional brochure) excluding items that that would normally be found or used at Lakeside High School.
