Objective: Create a postcard from a landmark in Colorado.
Student Instructions
Encourage students to research and select a lesser-known Colorado landmark, like the Great Sand Dunes or Maroon Bells, to inspire curiosity and variety in the class. This helps students learn about more places while making each project unique.
Show sample postcards (real or teacher-made) to illustrate creative layouts and interesting facts. This gives students a clear idea of expectations and sparks their imagination.
Model how to find trustworthy facts using kid-friendly websites or books. Encourage students to jot down at least two interesting details to choose from for their postcard.
Pair up students to read each other's notes before final submission. Partners can check for accurate facts, clear descriptions, and correct spelling, supporting collaboration and higher quality work.
Create a class display featuring each postcard. This builds pride in students' work and helps everyone learn about Colorado's diversity through their peers' projects.
The Colorado Landmark Postcard activity is a creative lesson where students design a two-cell postcard featuring a famous Colorado landmark. One cell includes a drawing or image of the site, while the other contains a written note with at least one fact about the landmark.
Students use a template or storyboard to create a postcard: they illustrate a landmark or the state in one cell, then write a note describing the landmark and including a fun fact in the other. They also invent a creative address and design a unique stamp.
Popular choices include Rocky Mountain National Park, Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, Garden of the Gods, Mesa Verde National Park, Coors Field, and Vail Ski Resort.
This activity helps students practice creative writing, research skills (finding facts), art (illustration), and geography by learning about Colorado landmarks.
The lesson is designed for individual or partner work, making it flexible for different classroom needs in grades 3–6.
