Christmas Animated Postcards
If you have access to internet, this website http://www.northpole.com/Mailroom/Postcards/PCIntro.html%20 is perfect for you! I know you will find it useful for a writing lesson. Students can email a Christmas animated postcard to their parents or friends, adding their own messages. It is a fun activity, students will enjoy it! I will include this project in my planning for December. But before starting I’ll need to follow SIX STEPS.
STEP 1: I will tell my students a little bit about Christmas and talk about the Christmas animated postcard project. STEP 2: I will ask my students to create a web and remind them that in the center of the web they will have to put the name of the person they want to send the postcard. STEP 3: they will write their ideas for the postcard in the web and later create a paragraph with those ideas. STEP 4: I will ask my students to exchange papers to revise their work and I will edit their work. STEP 5: I will ask my students to find out the email address of their father or mother; to send the postcard. (Check with their parents to be sure it's OK.) STEP 6: if your students have access to internet, they will be able to type the letter and send it online. But if your students don’t have access, they can type the letter in Word; you can paste it and send it later.

Dear Malu, This activity is GREAT!..very nice and simple to do with students from different levels...there should be others for other holidays. Thanks for sharing,

I've just sent a letter to Santa. He said I should get an answer in 2days. How are you going to work with 8 year olds? Will you send the letters from school and then check answers at school? Is it a class activity or an individual activity? Karen
