To look at old photographs. Every photograph tells a story. They will love to tell those stories themselves. Students may compare clothes, hair styles, etc. To have fun with words or phrases which are not used any longer and find their equivalent at present.
Children speak like their elders.
Grandparents speak like the children. Teach them how to send one. To make a board where students and older persons outline their hands and write a message inside. To write reports after the activities, read those received from different places and compare them. Patti Weeg , Title 1 Computer Teacher, Delmar El.
