Snail Mail
In the 1950s, most people communicated with one another by writing letters. According to the NZ history website, New Zealanders sent over 200 million letters and postcards between 1950 and 1960. That is an average of 87 letters per person!
For this activity, imagine that you are living in New Zealand in the 1950s. Use Google Draw* to design the front of a postcard that you could send to a friend. Try to include elements of Kiwiana in your design (e.g. Pohutukawa trees, Hokey Pokey ice cream, etc). Post a copy of your postcard picture to your blog. Be sure to describe what you have drawn on your blog beneath the picture.
*You will need to make a copy of the Google Draw template to create your postcard.
Here is my postcard about tonga.
Hey Sonnia, thank you for creating an awesome Tongan postcard. I really like it. How did you make it? What made you decide to include the emblem?
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I visited Tonga a year and a half a go. It was beautiful, I had such a great time. We went to Vava'u.
Have you ever sent or received a postcard?
Thanks, Billy
Hey there Billy,Wow you have went to Tonga. It is quite a beautiful place. Thanks heaps for posting an amazing comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteyeah I loved it. We went snorkling heaps! One day we went down into these caves and went swimming inside them, it was really fun. I loved going to the markets and buying lots of fresh food.
