Read below for final project!!!!!
the finale!!!
Create A Travel Brochure on one of the six human body systems. As the travel writer for
your local newspaper, you have been asked to design a brochure for a luxury tour through one
system of the human body. Select your destination! Be sure to highlight the trendy spots, all
exciting activities, and the imports and exports of the areas. For insurance considerations, point
out all possible dangers or special precautions that tourists might encounter during their visit.
Our final and graded activity for this field trip will be a fascinating travel brochure on the human body.
Create your travel brochure with a partner highlighting the exotic locations throughout the human body.
The focus of the brochure will be on the circulatory, digestive, nervous, respiratory, muscular, or skeletal
system. Highlight the functions, imports and exports, and other interesting and exciting information
about your body system. We will be using the websites we have traveled to in order to find our
information on these systems as well as our notes from class. Be creative. Here we go!!!
