GEOLOGIC ERA TRAVEL BROCHURE PROJECT
GEOLOGIC ERA TRAVEL BROCHURE PROJECT
DUE: Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Extra Credit: Friday, January 15, 2010
Point value: 120 pts. (20 pts. Per page)
Your brochure will have six pages. These are the requirements for each page:
Page #1: Front cover
This page must have the name of your geologic era and your name and period number. Pictures are always nice!
Page #2: Travel Agency
This page should have the name of your travel agency, address and phone number. Be creative—if your agency has a slogan or motto, this is the place for it.
Page #3: Description of the Era
This should be a SHORT description of the era that your have chosen. Be sure to include when the era began and ended, how long it lasted, any periods included in this era, major events (such as mass extinctions) and where in the geologic time scale it fits. This should be in YOUR words!
Page #4: Descriptive Drawing of the Era
Draw a picture of what life in your era looked like. You may use your book (pgs. 286-293) or any other source to help you.
Page #5: Description of the Dominant Life Forms
This should be a brief description of the kinds of life forms that a visitor would encounter during a visit to this era. Be sure to include all organisms—not just the animals. (Big Hint: Plants are organisms!)
Page #6: Advice for Future Trips
Since this is your back page, this is where you will recommend to travelers what possible era they would consider visiting next and WHY!
GENERAL ADVICE:
1. Be creative wherever possible.
2. The drawing means just that—you need to draw the picture of your era, not find a picture on the Internet.
3. Neatness counts—We will be using the brochure template on my website (geneticsrules.).
4. NO LEFTOVER PENCIL OF ANY KIND! This is a completed work, so you must go over all pencil with ink, crayons, or colored pencils.
5. The more colorful your brochure is, the better your grade will be. Remember you are the owner of a travel agency and you wish to get as many customers as you can. If your brochure is boring, your business will be minimal.
6. This is not art class. We all know that I am fairly artistically-challenged, so simply do the best you can. If you put forth your best effort, it will be obvious.
7. All brochures must be made with 81/2” x 11’’ paper. The brochure must be folded properly, so be sure to check out the samples. When in doubt, please ask!
