Hello,
consume - my class read many postcards first for entertainment then for a specific purpose - see why written
critique - then I asked why each was written - some were to inform ex. a sale at a certain store, some
just to entertain. Then they were given a certain topic - inform the reader about our area - we then analyzed the ones at hand and asked if they did the job - informed us about a certain area. We then brainstormed a list of what should be included in the postcards we would send to our penpals, keeping in mind the purpose was to inform the reader of our area.
produce - we produced
a postcard for the specific topic - informing about NY

Homeworkopoly - you can find specific details at homeworkopoloy.com . Studetns are allowed to play if their homework has been turned in completed. I created the board and use clothespins for the markers. MY students love to play. You have chance and community billboard cards like in the real monopoly. I taylor these to my class - i am not big on tangile rewards sooooo - sit at teacher's desk, use teacher's chair, comfy cushion, read in the hallway, buddy read, free homework etc.

Hope this is what you want and that it was what you need.
