Hello, I am interested to exchange books and activities among other countries in a BOOKS-FRIENDS PROJECT.

THE PROJECT:

The idea is to exchange books among students from other countries - literature or something like that.

I have asked my students to choose a book for reading in the English language. After that, I would like them to send their books to the learners from other countries before this Christmas time as a special gift. The idea is also to write a few words about their impressions from the book and about them. Later on we can send letters or cards for different holidays. We can create a Skype conference for example with the learners from other countries.

We might start with writing a group letter to each other about our group members and the city. The idea of our project is also to send letters. In our world of technologies it is not usual for them to wait for letters and receive them. Also, one of the ideas is to create a hero who will travel from one country to another in a letter. When you receive the character, you need to make a video how you read the story from the previous country. Then together with your group you write a short story and send the character with it to the next country. And they do the same. In this case we can travel all around the world and have so much fun with it.

MAIN GOAL:

The main goal of this project is to improve the reading and writing of our students and provide them a safe environment to practice the English language in real life with other students at the same age and interests, find new friends and much more.

LOCATION:

We are located in Curitiba city, Parana State - Brazil.
