My wife teaches sixth grade English. For an assignment she wants her students to write about a stamp from where are they are from. If they are from another country, they get to choose a stamp from that country and write about it. If they are from a different state, then same thing as the country one. My question is what type of info would you put in it. Keep in mind these are sixth graders.

Baseball, Flags, radio and tv personalities, state's and stamps that deal with a state

Important historical facts... such as wars fought, famous people (poets, writers, scientists, etc.), perhaps because of this being an English class they could look at how that area has impacted language in some way..

for example if they are from the US they can look at the use of "you" in reference to a group of people..

i.e. y'all - you all - yous - youn - etc..

Happy Stamping!!!

Another possibility would be to pick a stamp showing where they would like to go or what they would like to do. (i.e., something forward looking) For example a stamp with a pretty fish on it would illustrate that I would like to see it while snorkeling in Hawaii. Or a stamp with a riverboat on it might show an interest in going boating on the Mississippi. Or a stamp with George Washington on it might allow time travel to have a talk with him.

Now downsizing, really!

man i love what you have going on here!!!

how cool would it be to do a stamp display on the one historical figure you would love to go back in time and talk too?

Would you mind if i hijack this idea for an exhibition topic?

Happy Stamping!!!

Not my idea anyway. Way back when...(1960s?).. there was a TV series with simulated interviews of famous historical persons. The name of the show eludes me. Anyone remember it?

Butterfly, are you thinking of "Meeting of Minds", developed by Steve Allen?
