Objective
I can write a postcard with a greeting,
a short message, and a closing with my name.
Materials
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Ruled paper
Mini-lesson — A postcard is short and friendly
A postcard is a short note you send from a place.
It is not long like a letter. It is quick, clear, and friendly.
Postcards usually have 4 parts
- Greeting: “Dear Grandma,” or “Hi Sam,”
- Message: 2–3 short sentences
- Closing: “Love,” or “From,”
- Name: your name under the closing
Easy message plan
- Where you are
- One thing you did or saw
- One feeling (happy, excited, calm)
Keep it neat
- Use capital letters for names.
- Use a comma after the greeting and closing.
- End each sentence with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
A good postcard sounds like you.
Short is okay — as long as it is clear.
