Hi everyone,
Attention!!!
This message has nothing to do witht the strike. (As shocking as it may seem nowdays).

A friend of mine and myself (both elementary school teachers) are trying to organize a small ongoing writing project this year. We want our fifth grade students from the two schools, to write letters or e-mails to one another. Preferably e-mails because we'd like to use the computer.
Well we know how to start but we already have a few questions.
Is there anyone on the list who can give us some advice and relate to the following questions:

How often do pupils need to write an e-mail?
What should the e-mails be about?
It is obvious that the first e-mail should include a personal introduction (their names, how many brothers and sisters they have, which school they go to, their hobbies etc.) But how do you continue from that point? Should students write whatever they want or should we decide on a topic every week? (We do not use the same text book).
Is it necessary to correct mistakes before an e-mail is being sent?
How do you make sure students really write every week?
I suppose we could ask them to send us the e-mails first but It seems like a lot of extra work, having to read and correct 90 messages every single week.
These are just a few of the questions we have, now.
We would appriciate any help, so please write back.
Thanks,
Liron.
