US Postage Stamp
Who should be on the next US Postage Stamp?
Process
Students read biographies and then chose the person they thought deserved recognition on a stamp.
Next, we took notes and even more notes. We used a graphic organizer to plan our persuasive script. We watched videos and discussed persuasive articles.
Finally, we revised and edited our work to make it better.
We hope our videos will persuade you to vote for our person to be on the next stamp.
