Landforms Postcard rubric Students will imagine that they are in a window seat on a cross-county airplane trip. In letter format, they will describe the landforms, using real names, that they see along the way. They must use terminology that we have learned in this section, such as plain, plateau and mountain. They must choose a point to point route from and to a specfic city. They will draw and label a specific landform on the reverse side.
