Travel Brochure
Travel Brochure Suppose you had a travel company that could take people back in time. Your time machine can take tourists back millions, and even billions of years. You will be developing a travel brochure to entice vacationers to come to your geologic time period or Era, and “enjoy” what the earth of that time has to offer.
Things to keep in mind when working on this project:
1. Your travel brochure will need to include written descriptions as well as illustrations of the period/era.
2. Your brochure must be accurate. For instance, T-Rex did not evolve until the Cretaceous Period. It should not be included in a brochure for the Jurassic Period even if it does look very cool.
3. Your brochure should be fun as well as interesting. Remember you want to actually make people want to travel back to your time period.
4. You can copy pictures from the internet but make sure they are accurate and of the correct animal.
5. Part of your grade will include a presentation of your brochure to the class.
6. Your travel brochure worksheet must be included with your final project.
