Students throughout the year we will participate in a collaboration style of learning by using epals. I have site of the networking with a teacher from Mexico. Each month you will email your student as to what we do in our culture for different holidays. Thus they will be emailing you about the different cultures in Mexico. At the end of collaboration the class will meet each other via web cam.
Using epals will be a part of your writing process in which we will learn in class. You will write to your epal in a form of a friendly letter. You will be incorporating different types of poetry in you writing and different styles of writing too. The information you collection from your epal will be presented in a form of a scrape book. You will share your scrape book with the class at the end of the year. Every six weeks you will be required to write a letter to your epal. I will give this information to you before the assignment. You will work individually on each assignment.

An interesting video to learn more about epal.
Your scrape book must contain a collection of all of the letters in which your epal sent to you. What I learned page. A detail page of what you learned from your epal. (example: how they dress, holiday celebration, school schedule, i.e.) Pictures they sent to you. Be creative!!
Along with your scrape book presentation the class as a whole will create a compare contrast chart to display in the hall. We will get to meet our epals via web cam. At the end of this collaboration you will have meet a new friend, developed your writing skills and learned about a different culture.
