A UNESCO sponosored climate change project for beaches

Paul D — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:55:02 GMT

Greetings from Nevis, a small island in the Eastern Caribbean.
We are involved in a very interesting UNESCO sponsored Climate Change environmental project and are looking for partners.

It is called 'Sandwatch' and it is an environmental project for primary & high school students to adopt and study the health of their local beach and marine environment.
It requires little equipment or training and takes about an hour or so per month to do...but your school MUST be near a beach.

Please Let me know if you are interested and I will send you project details.
Currently there are Sandwatch Teams in schools in almost 50 countries worldwide working on Sandwatch!

Please look at the website www.sandwatch.org for more information.

Best Regards,

Paul Diamond

Director,

Sandwatch Foundation

Political cartoons are meant to catch your eye! A political cartoon that really moved me, was about a polar bear. He or she was trying to help another, by allowing it to stand on his/her back. They were trying to remain on one piece of ice. What if that were true? It will be soon, if we don't do something as a world-body! Please join my class and I; to learn, and spread the word about "Global Warming"! We are a class of 14: boys & girls : with lots to say! We live in South Carolina, where it is rural and suburban. Partner with us to change our destiny!

Sincerely,

9th grade US class looking for partners for a global warming project

frances p — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:25:14 GMT

Hello,

My 9th grade classes have just finished a huge project on Biomes and have begun looking at how energy gets to the Earth and how it is used. By the middle of November, we will begin talking about Global Warming in detail, and I would like for the each one of the classes to create a digital story on how Global Warming has affected each of the biomes they created. The project would be due at the end of November. I would love to team up with a class that can see direct effects of Global Warming in their own environments so that my inner-city students can get a 'feel' of the devastating effects of this phenomenon. The students range between 14 and 16 years, and have very little interaction with their natural environment.

An Invitation to Participate in Alien Adventure 2010

Calvin R — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:27:47 GMT

To: Classes throughout the world, potential partners

A Very Special Invitation

to Participate in a Great Global Project

We'd be delighted to have your class participate in this year's Alien Adventure 2010. After you read the description below, the project may seem overwhelming but it isn't at all! It can be as simple or as complex as you desire. We're starting very shortly, so please get on-board quickly. Some people are extremely busy and want limited participation, while others have plenty of time for deep involvement. It's up to you! We're eager to get started, so please reply quickly!

Please consider joining us for Alien Adventure 2010, the second year of a very educational and enjoyable global project. Basically, an alien and his little sister are visiting Earth to help solve the global warming problems. The alien (U) visited Earth last year (Alien Adventure 2009), so he's returning with his little sister (KK, age 12) While U was very strange in terms of appearance, KK is much more human-like and she has supernatural powers and a very extensive interest in science! Each class selects one part of her to describe (such as arms, ears, feet, etc) and posts their description on Blackboard. Each class then uses these descriptions to construct a 2-D model of her and posts a picture of her on Blackboard. (As an alternative to the 2-D construction, students can do drawings - such as with computers - and post those instead.) Each class also prepares a "chapter" for a book that tells about the aliens' visit (approximately two days) to their school. This chapter can be in any form desired - even in the form of a journal - and can be from about 1-10 pages long. It can include pictures, photographs, maps, and all sorts of cultural information. At the end of the project, each class will receive a fabulous electronic version of the book and certificates of participation. Blackboard also has a nice forum and several other opportunities for cultural exchanges and activities.

Classes will be able to view last year's book (on Blackboard) in order to give them lots of ideas and examples. Classes are also encouraged to use Epal's great resources and links for information about global warming. Blackboard is very user-friendly and fun to use.

Please accept our invitation and join us for Alien Adventure 2010. It's going to be great! This project is not too overwhelming and is ideal for all ages of students from elementary to middle school. Please also create or use a non-Epals email address (such as gmail, yahoo mail, etc) for this project because some of the attachments are large. You will then receive a Blackboard log-in and password from Sue Wright.

Questions or comments? Please reply to us at ePals: CalRainsKorea@epals.com

Again, please accept our cordial invitation for your class to participate.

Hi there -

I have a great group of 25 5th grade students starting up on Wednesday, Sep. 9. We are looking for pen pals to correspond with, preferably international.

Paris school is looking for students aged 12/13 to work with

Sylvie B — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:48:36 GMT

Living in the middle of Paris (8th district), I'd love to work on this project of Global Warming with my class of 19 students, aged 12/13 (8th graders).

I'd like to work with someone ready to keep a long term relationship (at least the school year) on a regular basis for the students to use their English and get to know how other pupils live in other places and how they manage to keep their environment clean.

Please send an e.mail if you are interested

French students 14/15 years old looking for partner

Christine L — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:11:45 GMT

I teach English in France and would be interested in exchanging with any other class with equivalent age group (25/26 pupils) about what we can do towards our planet earth, our mother globe, our common heritage, each in our own habits and the impact of our way of life on one particular point (water, bees...) to be found out.

There are lots of projects going on but I'm afraid of the fluency in English they might require. Forward to hearing from you .
