This document provides instructions for a student project to create a travel brochure about a biome. Students are asked to research a biome of their choice and design an informative yet creative brochure to advertise travel to that biome. The brochure must include a colorful cover, map, descriptions of landforms, plants and animals, climate, activities, and any dangers or threats. It should use captivating sentences to promote travel to the biome and cite sources. Students select a biome, get approval, review directions and rubrics, do research taking notes, create the brochure using provided software, and obtain required signatures.
