✍️ Explorers: Holiday Postcards

A fully interactive A2.2 Kids writing-genre lesson from the Explorer Club Master Level Writing Studio. Master explorers learn the shape of a holiday postcard through a clear recipe: greeting + two past events + one feeling + sign-off. The Writing Craft focus teaches the four parts in order, then a Past Events block recycles the past simple (regular -ed and irregular swam/ate/bought/went) with time words (Yesterday, Then, After that) and a parts table. Ten key words (postcard, greeting, holiday, seaside, souvenir, weather, amazing, delicious, sign-off, miss) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards. Part 4 is a MODEL postcard from Leo at the seaside for students to read then imitate, with hover-tooltip vocabulary and the four parts clearly visible. Practice offers 8 single-word fill-in-the-blank items rebuilding Leo's postcard from past verbs and postcard phrases, with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section has students say their postcard aloud before writing, with a five-line model planning dialogue; the guided 30–50 word writing task asks for a holiday or weekend postcard following the recipe with a four-point checklist and live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question quiz mixes postcard-genre and past-simple questions with two comprehension questions about Leo's model postcard, with a progress bar, explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
