Basically, instead of being pen pals, the students use e-mail. The teacher will brainstorm with the students the kinds of questions they can ask. The students will be asked to write to each other five days a week. Every two weeks, the students will submit the first draft of a report to the teacher. The teacher will give feedback to the students after students have gotten a chance to give peer feedback.
Students have a final draft to turn in.
The teacher and students will put together a class newsletter that will be made available in the school. The students will be reading the newsletter together, offering feedback and comments. Students will also learn how to use the web as a resource. Form groups of three to four students. The teacher will briefly talk about parties in general.
