Investigate the websites listed in the resource section. Find and record the following, which MUST be included in your brochure:
- Description and information on your specific biome
- The climate (average long-term precipitation and temperature)
- Plant life (include examples)
- Animal life (include examples)
- Biome location (continents, latitude, altitude, etc...)
- Find and save at least 4 images
- Something unique about your biome
- Why a visitor would want to come to your biome
Use Microsoft Word to create the brochure (there is a brochure template that can be used to help). The brochure MUST be tri-fold design, with all 6 surfaces used. Design and layout is important, so be sure to consider them carefully.
Sample Word Brochure Template
Points to consider for good design and layout include:
- Reserve the front surface for the brochure title and an image which is appropriate. Minimal information should be listed here.
- Save the back surface for Extreme Global Travels contact information (make this up yourself) and place your name, period and biome type at the very bottom.
- Arrange the interior surfaces of the brochure so that they are spacially appealing. Don't clump information at the tops and leave the bottom blank (this is a design no-no!).
Helpful suggestions
- Remember to SAVE your brochure... and save it often. When you first get your template go immediately to File-Save As. Name and save your file in the appropriate location so that it is safe.
- Use text boxes for both text and images. It is easier to move them around spacially for design and layout.
