Biome Project: Travel Brochure

Objective: Research a biome of your choice and create a travel brochure for that biome. Task: Imagine that you work for a travel agency. You are a travel brochure designer. Your task is to create a brochure for an exciting adventure to a biome of your choice. You will use a note sheet to guide you with your research. Your brochure must be informative, creative, easy to read, and colorful.

Your biome brochure needs to include:

A colorful picture of your biome on the cover(your name, name of biome, colorful picture, and catchy title or phrase)

A map showing where the biome is located in the world. Description of the landforms and water features in the biome. Plants and animals that live in the biome. Description of the climate or weather for the biome. Things a traveler could do in the biome. Any dangers or threats to the biome (endangered species, climate melting ice

caps) Any other interesting facts that you discover during your research.
