Pen Pals
Wouldn't you love to communicate with another second grader about what it would be like to live in a different type of community? Well, now is your chance! Your teacher has set up an account (with your parent's permission) at ePals. See your teacher for your username and password.
You will connect with another student across the country or maybe even across the world about what it's like to live in a different type of community. You will be able to ask him/her questions about him/herself, the community where they live, their family, hobbies, school, sports and friends. Let's brainstorm a list of questions we would like to ask our pen pals. Using this VoiceThread, share a few questions you have for your pen pal. Don't forget to ask questions about what we have been studying as well!
Then, using the voice thread for ideas, you will draft an email to your e-pal. Please include at least three questions for him/her to respond to and don't forget what we learned about writing a friendly letter.
