Through the use of telecommunications, students explore and compare their town and themselves with students from other cities, countries and cultures. To validate original student writing as appropriate reading material in our classes. Students describe the first place they'd take a foreign visitor and tell what makes that place important to them personally. Students describe their own town or city.
Students describe a day in their own life.
Each participating student will submit one original piece of writing, composed off-line. A print version will be kept displayed in the classroom. Teachers create a display board for student work and a map that identifies participating WorldClassrooms. Writing groups form for first session. Students are encouraged to be specific and concrete, not general and abstract.
