New semester ! New beginning!

To any who would like to

So far I have 4 classes. There are about 26~28 students Each of the class.
The follwoing stages are my intercultural learning plan for next three months.

September: Getting to know each other:

In order to make the students familiar with the enviroenment, I hope they introduce themselves during the whole september on the blog "a day at my school." During the process, my students will work together on a self-introduction slideshow. It will take a week to complete it. Of course, your students can do the same things. That will help us to know you more!
I hope at this stage, students can have frequent interaction so Any feedback or questions are welcome!

October-November: Working on your own blog!

When they know the blog environment well, they can set up their own blog. Due to the time limitation, there are only two blogs in each class so that my students won't feel too stressed. It's not easy to set up a blog for my students, especially in English, which is a foreign language to them.
As I mentioned in the previous email, they will figure out what topic they will invite you to discuss.

At last, in December I hope we can exchange Christmas cards as the prefect ending for the intercultural project.

By the way, can you tell me your other email address.
I would like to invite you to coedit the intercultural blogs.

I'll update more information soon

So ...Keep in touch!

Warmest hugs

To Andrea and Carrie

Today I just sent the Chinese New Year Cards to you. Hope you would like it.:)

Ps: Andrea, did you receive the Christmas cards from my students? They mailed the cards with your students' name as the receivers, not yours, so I'm not sure if you can get cards.

Hello! We look forward to blogging with you this year

Hello!
First of all, thank you for joining the project in 2008.
And we enjoy a lot from your sharing.
This year, the last topic : School rule hasn't been discussed because of the time limitation.
In Taiwan, there are many school rules but students may don't know what the school rules is for.
So I think it is opportunity for them to reflect why we should follow some rules in school. And why are some of school rules different between schools while some are simalar!

After school rule, I think it may be interesting to encourage students to take a picture about their school life everyday or every week. And they can choose what topic they want to discuss!

What do you think?

Show students' design on A day my school!

Hello, everyone:
If you want your students' art work or other on the blog "A day at my school and to be viewed people around the world," it's time to do so!

I am planning to create some area for your students and mine to put the beautiful pictures on the blog!

So far I put Brian's picture which he designed for our header on the blog.
If you want to share your works with us. Please email me your students' files and I'll upload them soon!

My email is readygo1214@hotmail.com

Hello! Are you back from vacation?

We'll appreciate that if you can take some to give us some feedback when we are still in school.

Thank you so much:)

Hello! everyone!

Hello!
First, I really thank you for joining this project.
While the project is coming the the end, some of you may get ready to have Christmas vacation!

If possible, can you take some time to say goodbye on the blog "A day at my school" so that we can know you are leaving for your vacation.

Of course, we will wait for your coming works and posts if you will add more then because we don't have Christmas vacation and still in school.

And we also welcome to you to give comments on our latest posts.


Thanks again
