The purpose of the video lesson is to outline how to design a brochure based on examples collected. The assignment is to create a four-fold brochure on a historical site.

The resource offers multiple video lessons for each of the writing traits at the grade 6 level, using the resource "Write Traits Student Traitbook" Grade 6, by V. Spandel and J. Hicks.
The traits include:
- ideas
- organization
- word choice
- sentence fluency
- voice
- conventions and presentation are embedded throughout the unit lessons

Students review information learned during the past five lessons and activities of the Introduction to Engineering unit. Working in teams, they create flyers and short quizzes about various types of engineering to share with the class and collect into a "Olympic Engineering Binder" for the class to keep.

In this unit of study, students will be asked to complete a performance task (create a brochure) in which they design a country that will provide a productive and positive place for people to live. They will develop a constitution for the country that they created.

Lessons and accompanying assessments included:.

Outcome IN6.2 Examine the social and cultural diversity that exists in the world, as exemplified in Canada and a selection of countries bordering the Atlantic Ocean.

In this activity, students are to choose an area within our Atlantic Region to research to find information and create a brochure.

The following resources are for assessments on:
1. A good poster
2. An informative brochure
3. Poem
4. A personal narrative essay

Students apply everything they have learned over the course of the associated lessons about waves, light properties, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the structure of the eye, by designing devices that can aid color blind people in distinguishing colors. Students learn about the engineering design process and develop three possible solutions to the engineering design challenge outlined in lesson 1 of this unit. They create posters to display their three design ideas and the comparisons used to select the best design. Then, students create brochures for their final design ideas, and "sell" the ideas to their "client." Through this activity, students complete the legacy cycle by "going public" with the creation of their informative posters and brochures that explain their designs, as well as color blindness and how people see color, in "client" presentations.

Students experience civil and environmental engineering by planning a housing development in an existing biome, while also protecting the native species that live there. They conduct research, draw plans, make brochures and give presentations, with each team having a member serving as a project manager, civil engineer, environmental engineer and graphic designer. The best designs creatively balance the needs and resources necessary to support both the native species and human infrastructure.
