Very cool lesson! Congratulations on the job!!! You must be very excited :) I think students would really benefit from this activity especially since a lot of students are a 'melting pot' of cultures, this provides an opportunity for them to explore their past ancestry. Also there would be an opportunity for the students to educate others on various cultures and promote understanding and diversity. Not to mention the number of standards you will be assessing.
Hi Jen
What a great idea! I like the Global assignment and being exposed to the ePals website. I think its great when we could bring multiple cultures together and understand and respect one another. Your lesson mirrors mine in a way to have the students research a culture and compare with their own. I also found that corresponding with a pen pal half way across the globe is and will be exciting for the students. It is great that technology is closing the gap between the distance from each society. I am looking forward in using ePals this coming school year. Congratulations and Good luck on your new teaching job!

I had my students create a PowerPoint to demonstrate what they learned and to compare and contrast their life with their ePal buddy. I love your idea of having them create a poster and displaying the pictures for others to see. That is definitely an idea that I want to remember for the future. Thanks for sharing!!!
