| Description: | A 4th grade class in New York State would like to connect with a 4th grade class in Africa or Europe to share information about their lives including weather, school experiences, favorite music and literature, and what each class likes to do in free time. A chance to share differences and likenesses. |
| Dates: | Between May 5 to May 20 from 8:30 - 1:00 EDT |
| Sign up method: | Exploding Collaboration |
| Grades: | 4 |
| Subjects: | Elementary All Subjects |
| Outcomes: | We would like our students to learn something new about a different country and their culture. (what is their climate, beliefs, dress,favorite food, how their families make a living, what their house are life etc....). |
| Preparation Time Frame: | about 45mins to 1hour |
| Methods and Activities: | students sharing about their cultures with pictures and artifacts from their part of the country. |
| Responsibilities: | Students share what they feel is special about their country or culture. Each student takes part with a written report or poster |
| Agenda: | Our agenda in this project is to really open the eyes of our students to the wide varieties of cultures in the world not just what is special to them in their back yard. Many students do not have the chance to travel to another country, so this is the next best thing. |
