1.  Write a postcard from Alaska.  You can find information about towns and villages in the first link, and photos on the last link.  Use Microsoft Word to write a postcard to a friend telling about the place you visit.  Take a few notes first so you are writing in your own words.  Next, type the text in and then add the photo at the bottom.  Save the postcard in the correct folder on the student drive.
