Seasons greetings

Task one:

Create a word file. One the first page write your name, class, date etc. and put a nice picture on it, something that has to do with Christmas. Each task will get its own page.

Maak een wordbestand. Op de eerste pagina zet je je naam, klas, datum, etc. en zet er een leuk plaatje op, die te maken heeft met kerst. Elke task krijgt een eigen pagina.

 

Task two:

In your word file, make a christmas card. It should consist of two pages. The first being the front- and backside and the other page the inside of your card. The outside should be nicely decorated in the Christmas spirit, and the inside should contain 1. short poem (you may use the internet) about Christmas and 2. a season's greeting. When you are finished, continu with task 3.

 

In jullie word bestand ga je een kerstkaart maken. Deze moet bestaan uit twee pagina's. De eerste pagina is de voor en de achterkant. Houd hier ook rekening mee! De tweede pagina is de binnenkant. De buitenkant van je kerstkaart moet mooi ontworpen zijn, met plaatjes e.d. Hier zijn jullie vrij in om te beslissen. De binnenkant van je kaart moet bestaan uit twee punten. 1. een kort gedicht (mag je opzoeken) over kerst en 2. een kerstgroet. Als je klaar bent, kun je verder gaan naar task 3.

Voorbeeld gedicht (deze niet gebruiken):

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do
