Original Prompt

Create a simple rubric for this activity: Using their notes and research, students design a "postcard" to send home. Requirement: Write to your sister, brother, mother, or father. A minimum of 3 sentences describing something about what you saw or experienced as you visually “visited” China.

This guide is designed to help students craft a vibrant postcard reflecting a virtual trip to China. The mission encourages learners to write a message to a family member, incorporating at least three sentences that detail their experiences and observations. The emphasis is on using descriptive language to capture the essence of their visit, whether discussing a landmark like Mount Tai or their feelings during the adventure. The resource provides a clear rubric to assess the content, language, and presentation of the postcards, promoting engagement and creativity. Additionally, there are sections for self-assessment, peer feedback, and guided reflection, encouraging students to critically evaluate their work and understand cultural contexts better.
