This is why educators refer to it as an “authentic” language skills activity, since children are motivated to create their own unique contributions to the project and are free to write whatever they want using the Flat Stanley character as a creative launching pad.
Since the children are always creatively involved and stimulated while writing, and both the mailers and the receivers already share a mutual friendship with Flat Stanley, their writing and learning skills become sharper, more natural, and usually more imaginative. While its concept is reminiscent of a penpal project, Flat Stanley is truly a lot more rewarding.
The children then discuss, monitor, and create a journal of their own Flat Stanley ideas and activities. The primary goal of The Flat Stanley Project is to engage children in all kinds of educational environments with other children and schools taking part in the program by mailing out (either digitally with a special app or through the post office) paper “flat” classroom guests, all of which are made by the kids.
