Ms.D's Project

See me for your choice selection!!!!!

Travel Pamphlet Project


Students will create a travel pamphlet that highlights an urban and rural place and what they have to offer a traveler. After the student has picked the two locations they will need to inform the teacher which places they picked. This is to ensure that there is no overlap on the project. One choice must be Canadian and the other choice can be international.

The project must be done on the computer using the internet and completed individually.
Students can use Power point or another format that has been Okayed by teacher.

Projects will be presented in class. Each student will have a maximum of 5 minutes to present their project.

What is to be included in the project:

• Pictures of the location (At least three pictures for each location)
• The weather (climate)
