 * __ END OF PROJECT TIMELINE __**


 * Text should include:**
 * - island name (largest font)**
 * - island or island group that it’s based on**
 * - location (ocean or sea that it lies in, distance from nearest coastline(s) or large cities or landmarks)**
 * - slogan – phrase that “says it all” about your island – think: radio or magazine ad On the left place the essays about the natural attributes On the right side place the essays about the developed island attributes In the center place the essays about the five sustainable projects you chose to highlight and describe**

All essays should be single spaced and in smaller (10-12 pt. font) All essays should have a HEADING (in caps) Each essay should be cut out and centered on a piece of construction paper. You’ve been instructed to collect photos (i.e. Google images) representing scenes from your island (landscapes, architecture, flora and fauna, etc.) Place the photos you’ve printed out around the display board. Optional: You may enlarge and detail the business district (or other area) of your island. Add it to the display board where it fits best.


 * MODEL **
 * Choose one of the five sustainable projects and build a model of it. It can be a building, a transportation or energy system, a way that land is used, etc. Keep the model fairly small (not much larger than the size of a large lunch tray. This is the greatest opportunity to use your creativity and ingenuity. Think about what materials you will need. I have old display boards that can be cut out and used as a base. I have other materials that I’ve collected and will donate to your projects. If you want to build something out of basswood, I have that, too. If you decide to use the basswood, I need to see a diagram of what you plan on building. The basswood is expensive.**
 * “Junk” items that can be collected and used in models: popsicle sticks, pieces of cloth and felt, spools, pieces from board games, straws, fake grass, etc. Consider visiting THE SCRAP EXCHANGE in downtown Durham, a non-profit that specializes in a wide array of junk items used in art projects.**


 * RESTAURANT MENU **
 * Search sample menus on the Web to get ideas about the appearance and organization of your menu. The menu can be single or two sided, or one that opens up. You decide. The name of the restaurant or diner should be on the front. Include a blurb about the history of the restaurant, a bio of the owners, and/or the mission of the restaurant. Are you serving breakfast and/or lunch and/or dinner? Your menu should feature items made from local “ingredients” (things that grow (fruits, vegetables, grains, spices, etc) or are raised (beef, lamb, pork, poultry, venison) on your island. Don’t forget the seafood, which is caught off your coast.
