planet+brochures

When studying the planets in science, we had the students create brochures to advertise a "hotel" they were going to build on their planet. The students needed to incorporate their knowledge of the planet to think about what their planet could offer. For example Grant was advertising his planet... "For everyone out there who uses a big gas grill with a methane tank, probably at a tailgate party, let me tell you something. Uranus's atmosphere is MADE of nitrogen and METHANE! Also since Uranus is 1 billion 700 million miles from the sun you don't have to worry about baking out there in the sun at those scorching hot football games!"

We created these in Publisher and here are the directions. I don't have a digital example yet, but I will post one soon!
