I did a U.S. postcard exchange for a couple of years including last school year. It was fun and the students loved getting the cards from all over the country. The kids traced a huge US map and we added each card as they were received. We made our own cards and the kids were proud of their work. Each entry was logged ion their Interactive notebooks and they kept a mini map in there as well. It was fun and motivating. I was thinking if I can use this idea in history as a research project. > Maybe using the Medieval European maps, they can be a bard that travels > from....to.... They can keep a journal of their adventures along the way. You are so good! I can hear the wheels turning from here in Maine!
