| Task Description | Students have been learning about Christmas traditions in Germany. In this task they imagine celebrating the Christmas season in Germany. They create a suitable e-postcard to email to their teacher back in Melbourne. They use the internet to search for appropriate images, and software to create a German Christmas-themed e-postcard. They write a message saying where they are, what the weather is like, and describing a particular custom they have taken part in. They use the writing conventions appropriate to card-writing. They check and edit their writing. They email the e-card to their teacher | |
