Postcard |
| |
Bring to class a number of samples of postcards to share with student.
Discuss the purpose of a postcard and common design elements of this
form of communication. Evaluate the sample postcards on how well they
communicate information about their subject, how effective is the
visual, how helpful is the descriptive information, etc. Prior to
students creating their postcards, discuss with them various symbols
used by Canada and its provinces, e.g., the maple leaf, the beaver,
etc. Make a display of the students' completed postcards with accompanying
descriptions. Have students evaluate their work according to the criteria
you developed when assessing the sample post cards. |
