Postcard to the Past
Inexpensive to buy and costing only a few cents to mail overseas, picture postcards were a popular way for recent immigrants to keep in touch with those back home. A short message to loved ones to let them know you arrived safely in Canada might be the first news your family has heard from you in weeks.
Here we offer a selection of postcards from the past. Have your students read them and note any themes in the postcard messages. Then, have them write their own postcard.
