Lesson plan

Welcome the students. Ask if they like giving or having presents and postcards. What holidays do they prepare the postcards for? Do they buy or make postcards?

3. Pre-teach (10-15 mins)

Pre-teach the vocabulary. Tell the history of the postcards and their evolution.

Postcards were introduced to Britain in 1870. They were produced in two sizes and drew heavily on the Hungarian design. Commissioned by the British Post Office, the cards included an imprinted halfpenny stamp that covered the price of postage and were half that of a letter.

What did the world’s first postcard look like? Initially postcards had no images and strict rules dictated where you could write on them.

The first cards were issued by Austria-Hungary in 1869, a proposal by Dr Emanuel Herrmann, though he was not the first to suggest the idea. They were produced in two languages – German and Hungarian – and were extremely popular.
