Postcard Rubric

Task: You have just traveled through the solar system. As with most tourists, you will write a postcard from one place in the solar system. You will create and write the postcard using the rubric below.

If you want, you will also be able to send this to anyone you want; parents, cousin, grandparents, friend, etc. (Just bring in a postcard stamp or 29 cents.) If you don’t know who to send it to, we can address it later.
