This school district is looking for another district who will be offering these AP courses and would be willing to allow a few outside, very bright students to enroll in the course(s) via videoconferencing.

| Description: | We are doing a unit on Human geography. Why people live where they do, what the economy is like, literacy etc. I would like to conference about different cultures. For example: 1. Our quality of life where we live and why it is like it is. Jobs? Housing? Play? 2. Literacy – what is the school like? The classroom? The books? The curriculum? Size of classes? Supplies? When you go to school and transportation? It would be nice to connect with someone in another country other then Canada with differing school expectations if possible. |
