The collection's many images of U.S. national
parks can also be used to create a pictorial travel brochure. Search on national
park and browse the photographs to get a feel for the different parks.
Or search on the
names of specific parks, such as Garden of the Gods, Rocky Mountain
National Park, and Mesa Verde, in Colorado; Bryce Canyon in
Utah; and Arizona's Grand Canyon. Select photographs and write descriptions
that will promote the parks and help readers decide where they may want to
go. Create a layout that is clear and attractive. Include some information
on the park's history in your description. |
