ePals: The Way We Are

This website outlines how I plan to have my 3rd grade students participate in the ePals project titled "The Way We Are". Below teachers can find the links to my plan for the project, how the objectives of this project align with current Howard County curriculum objectives, a contingency plan, & my evaluation for the project. The following is an overview of the project & a list of the essential questions students will attempt to answer by completing this project as stated on the ePals website.

What makes us who we are? In this introductory project, students will engage in a collaborative learning experience. Through email exchanges, students will build friendships and learn about the daily lives and characteristics of the local environment of students who live in another region of the world.

1. How is my life similar to and different from my ePal's life?
2. How does the natural environment where my ePal lives affect his or her life?
3. What does the culture in my ePal's region have on his or her life?
