Mrs. Thomas Flat
Stanley Project
What is the Flat Stanley Project?
The basic principle of The Flat Stanley Project
is to connect students with communities across the world by sending out "flat" visitors, through the mail.
Students
can talk about, track and write about their flat character's journey and adventure! Flat Stanley is an enriching and engaging
activity.
The sender and the recipient already have a
mutual friend, Flat Stanley. Writing and learning becomes easier, flows
naturally, and tends to be more creative. Flat Stanley is an “authentic”
literacy project, in that students are inspired to write of their own passion
and excitement about the project, and given the freedom to write about many
things through the rubric of the Flat Stanley character.
