Heritage site postcard

Students sketch a local architectural monument and compose a short historical blurb on the reverse.

Steps

1. We review the official historic monuments registry for our local township.
2. Each student selects a landmark and researches its origins.
3. They illustrate the monument on blank postcard-sized cardstock.
4. On the back, they write three informative sentences and mail it to a neighboring class.

Tip: The complete National Heritage Institute database is searchable online.
