Newsletter Projects
ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTERS This project was started by a teacher in France who wanted to join together with classes world wide to have classes produce a month electronic newsletter on various topics. Topics include things like student's hobbies, after-school activities, a typical day at school, holidays and celebrations and class selected topics. We were grouped with about 10 other schools with whom we exchanged our newsletters each month from October through May. This project allowed my students to do original writing, use e-mail as well as learn about cultures in other parts of the world. This is a project that could be coordinated by any classroom teacher by placing a call for participation on any listserv. If you wish to have international participation, I recommend using the St. Olaf site at ST. OLAF IECC.

NEWSDAY Global School Net's NEWSDAY project is also excellent project which matches together several classrooms around the world to share newspaper articles on a specified subject. Each class then uses the articles to create their own newspaper which is shared with all participants.
Excellent for schools who use 4 X 4 block as the project takes place each semester.
