- How are they made? How are they folded? Shape?
- What makes them attractive? Pictures? Colours?
- What does the card say?
- Why are there open spaces?
2. Learners will make a rough sketch to design their own cards. They can decide:
- What to draw.
- What message they will send.
- How they are going to write their messages. (They can ask the teacher to write them lightly and they can print over the letters or make any other plans they can think of)
- What they will need. (Make a list of drawings of tools needed.) They collect and bring these.
3. They make their cards.
