You are to create a postcard, pretending that you are 20 years old and you have just taken a job in the tourism/hospitality industry (a hotel, theme park, food service, etc.) somewhere in Texas. Create a postcard to mail to your parents. On one side you will glue a picture that you find on the Internet (be sure to credit the web site in the appropriate place) related to the city/town you are working in. On the other side, write a short note to your parents telling them about your new job and new home. Print the postcard and picture, then cut it out and glue the front and back together.
