Each of my students will write a letter, once a month might be OK, to one of the students in your school and, maybe, in another school in another country. And so would your students. oPROJECTS. The students in each country will prepare materials about their village, country, traditions, etc. using power point presentations that we will upload at Twinspace so that all the other schools (two or three possibly) can download the material and have a look at it in class. We should agree on the topic and then all the schools might work on the same topic at the same time (if you agree, of course) oOTHER MATERIALS. About once a term (December, March and June) we would send a letter over to your school, containing other materials which are impossible to send by e-mail: newspapers, leaflets, etc. oFINAL EXHIBITION.
