City and its Climate Brochure

Objective:

Your assignment is to create a travel brochure for tourists to help decide a future visit to that city based on the cities climate.

Requirements:

Brochure must fit a legal size of paper (8 ½ X 11 in) or bigger that will be folded in different sections. See me if you want a hand folding. If you have another idea for your brochure such as a poster, web site, a power point, a glog or an interpretive dance go for it!!! You will also show information on our class google map.

Keep in mind that you will have to complete all six parts.

Your information must be accurate and current. So, you must research your city to find out what to place on your brochure.

Your brochure has six parts. Below is what you are required to have in each part.

1. Title Page – include your city, its latitude and longitude, a map of where your city is located and a picture of something from that city.
2. Tell me why you would want to go there and show three fun things to see or do there. Include descriptions and pictures. It must be school appropriate.
3. Describe the temperature of your city throughout the year. When is the warmest, coldest? Is there a big difference in the yearly temperature range?
4. Describe the amount of precipitation throughout the year. When is it rainiest, driest?
5. Factors that influence your cities climate (such as proximity to large bodies of water or inland, mountain ranges, global wind patterns, ocean currents, latitude, etc). (This is Important)
6. Add the types of vegetation that grown in that area due to the climate. (ex. Desert scrub, tropical plants, pine forests, etc)
7. A climate graph must be included with the brochure. (There will be a lesson(s) on this!!!)
8. You can use a variety of resources such as books, internet, clip art, and magazines. Write the brochure in your own words. I will be able to tell if you do not.

 

Remember: You have a choice on how you present your learning. (Just see me first.)
