The timeline

These days, I'm planning the schedule of our project. The following is what I think:

1. I set the time from May to August as "Preaparation stage." We simply do some self-introduction and give each others some short feedback because your students may, like my students, will have summer vacation and are unable to get together to do the project. (Ps: If you don't post your self-introduction yet, take your time:))

2. And then from September to December (before christmas), we can share and discuss more details with each others' school life on the blog through pictures, files and videos! I've asked my students to think the topics and questions they want to ask you and they will be ready in September.

3. From December to January, my students and I will edit a newspaper based on the conent of the blog during this time and publish it to you all at the end of January(so we hope to receive more information from you!).

The information above will be updated so don't forgect to check this blog often! I would like to invite you all to discuss the project process together. So if you want to know more blog resources and ask me some questions. Please let me know.

Thank you!
