In the book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, Salamanca and her grandparents take a trip across America from Euclid, Ohio to Lewiston, Idaho to see Sal's mother. Along the way they stop at four national parks: Yellowstone, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore and Pipestone National Monument.For this assignment, you will select one of these four parks to research and create a one-pager poster encouraging tourists to visit.
Use the links below to find the national park website for your project. You should be able to get all of the information you need from that website. However, you may do additional research.
Your one-pager poster should include:
- a slogan featuring the name of your park. For example: "Visit Yosemite: You're Half-Crazy if You Don't See Half-Dome" or "See Death Valley; It's To Die For."
- a border that relates to your assigned park.
- a list of basic information including:
- visitor center hours
- entry costs
- campsites and other facilities like restaurants and/or stores
- a description of two things visitors can do or see at the park. This should be written as a paragraph in a way that will attract visitors.
- one or two large illustrations of major park attractions. You must create your own artwork. No printouts or photos. Ask your teacher about tracing, but probably not.
- other creative touches and information to make your one-paper visually appealing and interesting reading.
Your one-pager poster should be written to encourage people to come and see your park. Think of it as an advertisement.
Choose one of the parks below for your project:
Read over the website for your park then create your one-pager on large paper.
