Regions Brochure
Imagine that you could live anywhere in the United States! What region would you chose
to live in? You wouldn t want to live by yourself. Your job is to convince someone else of
why someone should consider moving to that region with you.
You will have to describe the:
Region
Climate
Physical Characteristics
Culture
Attractions
*Use your planning sheet to brainstorm ideas before you create your final brochure. You
will have to complete your planning sheet before you may start your brochure. You can
use any of your resources from this unit (flipbooks, flyers, mini-books, etc) to help you.
Remember your materials are in your folder.
*Miss Zimmerman/Miss Speidel will have large paper for you to fold and create a
brochure after they have looked at your planning sheet. You can also look at the
example of the planning sheet or brochure if you need help organizing them.

YOU MAY ONLY USE CRAYONS OR COLORED PENCILS. NO MARKERS!!

*Make sure and read the rubric carefully to include all the parts!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cut the dotted line and give the bottom part to Miss Zimmerman/Miss Speidel for which
region you would like to do your brochure on. They will keep this for you so you do not
forget which one you chose.
