Classroom Adventures

Austin wanted to highlight his Postcard project that we did for social studies.



1. Students had to research a specific region of a country we are studying.
2. They then had tell me about the region (the climate, environment and landscape) in a postcard like they were visiting the country.
3. Finally the students went to travellerspont.com and they picked a picture to create a postcard and send it via email to myself, then their parents to share!

It was a fun project to do and they loved sending the postcard. I gave them a mark out of five for incorporating the materials that was on their research sheets (climate, land, bodies of water, using land and water, caring for the environment) plus a mark if their picture on the postcard was connected with their region.
The students also did a self assessment of how well they worked with their research groups!

Thanks Austin for sharing :)
