Together, the partnered group will propose solutions to their particular issue based on their problem-solving model. They will post a complete list of their solutions on the RCMP DEAL discussion board. If your students do not agree or do not come to a solution, they can post a message explaining why they could not come to an agreement. We ask that participants post their submissions in the languages represented within their small group, their class and their ePALS partner class. Participants can use the Instant Language Translator to translate the gist of their message, which can be copied and pasted into a discussion board message.
Participants are also welcome to reply to messages posted by other groups.
Students can then illustrate their solutions through a variety of means. The final activity will involve participants becoming proactive by implementing their proposed strategies within their own schools or communities. For example, they can post their posters in the school or community center or they can write a school newsletter and circulate it among teachers and students. Register now and participate in the poll. The Teacher to Teacher Guide offers information on using ePALS tools.
