							| Pen Pal Needed 
 |  
							| Hi everyone!!!
  
I teach three very strong groups (7th to 9th grade classes) and I am looking for classes who will be willing to be our pen pal friends for this year. I don �t mind to exchange emails but I also want to send and receive at least 3 letters. Those classes contain between 23- 28 children. I am looking for a school that can do this project throughout the year until June 20! I am also willing to do this project with my weak group (15 sweet 8th grades that can be really motivated by sending and receiving letters). 
If you are in for it and you want to take part of this wonderful project with my students, please PM me. 
Thanks

							| What grade level do you teach?
The whole idea is based on making connections, getting to know people and respecting other cultures.
At first we assign each student with his yearly pen pal, the first time they send their letters (we actually send them after we collect them from the students, they introduce themselves and they keep talking to one another all year long.. 
When the projects ends, you can ask your students what they studied about their pen pal, what they studied about their pen pal �s country etc. 
By doing this, children get to practice their English in a really fun way. I did this project last year with a class from Italy. It was a huge success but this year, I am teaching different grades.... |  31 Aug 2013

							| Take a look Teachers from around Europe are invited to participate in a project that will encourage students to learn the English language and portray the importance.  Motivation, inspiration and concentration are some of the most prominently recorded benefits that a young student taking at education has been observed to have gained. For a young person�s personal growth and development an education in art is something that is considered to be very important as changing the way one looks at the world.
