NC Regions Travel Brochure Project

You are a travel agent who organizes business retreats for North Carolina industries. You collect information about the three major geographical regions of North Carolina and identify cultural and recreational activities, major landforms, and accommodations available in each region in order to design travel brochures. These brochures will be reviewed by a local travel agency.

You brainstorm lists of cultural and recreational activities and landforms found in their assigned regions.


You will use a map to list at least 5 major cities found in their regions.


You will request information from Chambers of Commerce within their regions. Additional resources can include atlases, almanacs, encyclopedias (print or electronic), full text periodical databases (SIRS Discoverer), and student textbooks. (The majority of these resources should be available in the school media center or the local public library.)


You will select appropriate information to include in their travel brochures as outlined in their project guidelines. (See Standard Writing Rubric).


You will organize and design their brochures to include the required components using either a desktop publishing program, a word processing program, or “paper and pencil.”

After viewing the other brochures, the students can plan their own vacations outside of their assigned regions or write a response to the following prompt:






If you could travel to any of North Carolina’s three regions, which would you travel to and why?
