Let them sing it for you!

Portuguese / English students had to write songs! They worked in pairs and the songs should include one of the grammar / vocabulary topics we had been studying. After writing the songs they went to the website http://www.sr.se/p1/Src/sing/ and typed the song there. In class we listened to the songs, checked if there were mistakes and voted to choose the best song.

Here they are (without the corrections - I'm still waiting for the new links!):

2009 ACTIVITIES

We have been very busy! Here are the projects we have this year:

Portuguese / English students (CL61A-S91) - two projects. One is with Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois, United States (http://www.wiu.edu/). They have been exchanging e-mail messages with elementary education majors. Some students have written a lot and learned a lot. Future teachers from the US communicating with future teachers from Brazil. In common the desire to share experiences, to learn about the educational systems of each country, to share cultures. A purposeful opportunity for Brazilian students to practice their English.

The second project is with a group of students from a a World Cultural geography class from a high school in Red Wing, Minnesota, USA. Students use Epals to communicate. Younger students, shorter messages, different realities. A nice experience too.

Técnico Integrado students (CL07A-T61) - one project. This project is with students from a Chicago public school. They are students from an art class. The objective is to exchange collage posters to show how students live day by day at their school, to describe their environment and their personality and interests. When the posters are finished they'll be sent by snail mail! Pictures have been taken, students have prepared their texts, posters are almost ready!
