Objective of Collaboration We are a 4th grade class located in central Indiana that would like to share the excitement of a popular book through a pen pal activity with another class from a different state. The vision is that the classes would decide on a book that each of the classes would read out loud on their own. Then the two classes would get together once a week via distance learning to talk about the book and get to know each others views. We would like for this activity to take place from the months of January through March 2011. We are open to any state that is on a similar time zone (EST) and any grade-level between 3rd - 6th grades.
Time Frame January 2011 - March 2011
Target Audience Education: Grade(s): 3, 4, 5, 6
