A computer for every two students. Presentation system with overhead in Lab for instruction. Collaborate with another teacher to decide on a set of questions students will ask and when e-mail will be sent. Contact Computer teacher and agree on a time to take students to Computer Lab. Go through the steps of accessing Eudora e-mail, etc. 5.
Students receive e-mail messages and respond.
Arrange for follow-up messages, which could lead to a future poetry sharing, story writing project, or other curricular clollaboration. Students were very excited to do this project. As a group, they can be trusted to follow directions, but I did try to scan as many replies as possible, while remarking on their comments and how encouraging they were to the younger students. We hope for a chance to communicate again, perhaps with an attachment, such as an original poem.
