Pick one of the biomes you have read about and studied. You will be making a
travel trifold brochure for a particular location in your biome. The brochure
should be informative and visually pleasing. The guidelines for the brochure are
below.
1. Must be on a sheet of 8.5 x 11” unlined paper.
2. Must be folded as a trifold brochure, with information on 5 sides. Any color
of ink or marker may be used as long as it is clearly visible on the paper you
are using. Make sure your markers do not bleed through the paper. You may
also cut out pictures from magazines or do it on the computer and print
pictures.
3. Written information and/or drawings must cover 85% of each side used. You
must have all the major information about your biome contained in the
brochure (e.g. precipitation, average temperatures, types of plants and
animals found there, etc) be descriptive and creative.
4. Your name, block and the class appear on the last page of the brochure.
5. Remember, this is a travel brochure-if you don’t make it informative and
attractive, I won’t want to visit, and if I don’t want to visit you won’t get a
good grade! Even if your biome is the Desert or the North Pole you can still
be creative and convince people to at least look at the brochure.
