Publisher Introduction - Let's Go Around the World!

First, we will spend several minutes exploring what a continent is on Brainpop, and then various coutries on the National Geographic Kids. The students will be able to explore photos and videos from a number of countries, and decide what country they would like to highlight on a postcard.

This week, we will create postcards to tie-in with Language Arts studies using the MS Publisher program. The students will each receive a template of an "Off to Adventure" postcard in their network folders that looks like this:

The students will then create their own postcard, using their chosen destination from Language Arts class. Using descriptive language, they outline what they will see, feel and taste at their destination. They will be able to insert a photo, change the fonts and colors of the postcard as well.
