In early elementary school, students learn about community helpers in social studies. For a fun resource, I would take my students to the post office to learn about the role of the most master and about the process of sending and receiving mail. 
- I would do a lesson that teaches students to properly write a letter. Students would learn to seal envelopes, address them, and we would go to the post office to get stamps and mail them. 
- tudents would receive a tour of the post office and would see how post masters receive, sort, and send out mail. 

Firstly, I will have the students research the county's history. This will be an activity for researching historical settings. The students will search for old recipes to consider historical foods, images of clothing to consider costumes, and also look at old textbooks to consider how people in those times were educated. These details are very useful for the writing process.

Secondly, I will have the students look into historical texts (city newspapers, old yearbooks, etc) and write a fictional short story, featuring a person in the text as a main character, in the historical setting they researched before. This will be an exercise about finding character names and applying research.
