The best travel writers bring a scene, a place or a person alive for us. In this activity, you’ll do that too – except you’ll be writing about a place you know very well – your own home.

They can be used as stand-alone activities or built into existing curriculum-aligned learning programs. Our Learning@Home series includes two types of resources. The first are fun and challenging real-world activities for all ages, the second are self-directed lessons for upper primary and secondary students. These lessons support independent learning in remote or school settings.
