## Postcard from London

Assignment

If you're travelling, it can be fun to send a postcard home to your family or friends. The front of the postcard shows a picture or a pretty drawing of the place you've visited, and you use the back of the postcard to write a message about where you are, what you've done and what you are going to do, as well as the address of the person you're sending the card to. In this assignment we're going to pretend to send a postcard from London.

Step-by-step plan

1. Go to this website 'How to Write a Postcard'.
2. Watch the video of Emma writing a postcard to her friends.
3. Then, read the explanation 'How to Write a Postcard' below the video.
4. Now it's your turn! Use a spare piece of paper or your Notes app to write a first draft of the message you would like to write on your postcard - in English, of course. Use Emma's postcard and the explanation to help you, but don't copy her text altogether. Pay attention to the verb tenses (=werkwoordtijden) that Emma uses.
5. Ask at least two classmates to read your message and give you feedback.
6. Happy with your feedback and your message? Then make your own blank postcard from craft paper. The traditional size of a postcard is A5 (Google it!)
7. Write your message on the back of the postcard. In English, of course!
8. On the front side of your post card, make a drawing of one or more London tourist attractions. Tip: use your Keynote from the Google Maps assignment for this!
9. Take a good quality picture of both the front and back of your postcard and hand it in via Seesaw. Copy the link to your logbook in the Egodact Quest Monitor.
10. Pin your postcard to a notice board in your basecamp so that everyone can see your work!
