Develop an introductory activity with the partner teacher. This could take the form of sharing some pictures of the school and writing about school activities and events. Decide when the classes will telecommunicate their reports or mail them to the partner class. Students complete a log of leisure time. Students work collaboratively to create a class graph using all data.
Students compare and analyze graphs during small group activities.
Students prepare reports of their findings using at least three paragraphs, centering, and tabs. This report should include how other students were involved at their school site and how they shared the information at their school. Have the students prepare news reports by groups to be shared via mail or telecomputing. A minimum of three. Introduce the class to their partner class.
