Muscular System Travel Brochure



Muscular System Travel Brochure

You are an employee at the Deltoid Dynamics Travel Agency and have been asked to be a consultant to design a luxury tour through the Muscular System. Before you can collect your fee from the Anatomy Travel Bureau, you must produce a brochure. The owner of the travel bureau, Mrs. Gertrude Gastrocnemius, has informed you that in order to win the contract you must highlight the trendy spots and exciting activities of the area. For insurance considerations, you must also discreetly mention any possible dangers or special precautions that tourists might encounter in visiting this system. Your muscular system tour should include visits to muscles in all areas of the body.

Format

• Brochure – 6 sections.

• The main goal is to give an overall sense of the organization and function of the muscular system. You may use drawings, computer graphics, and photographs of actual organs, pictures from magazines, journals, or books to help in your advertisement of each system. Whenever possible, type all written parts of brochure. Let your imagination run WILD!

• Each person will orally present his or her brochure to the class, and we will vote on which person gets the contract.

Suggestions for the different sections in your brochure:
