Hello!
My name is Nicole and I have 8 students, ages 9-10, who are looking for ePals. We'd like to write once a week, and create an interview to discuss topics like hobbies, school, family, etc. and then use those interviews to create a report on our ePal. We'd love to write at least once using real snail mail, but mostly communicate using email. At the end, if possible, we'd love to use Skype to "meet" our ePals. Would you be interested? This is our first time using ePals, so we're not sure how this works, but I had this idea (and we could each do this so that your students and my students would each create a report on their ePal):
Week 1 - a brief email to introduce ourselves
Week 2 - we will send the interviews
Week 3 - we will complete the interviews
Week 4 - send snail mail with pictures
Week 5 - we will email an update on our report, but we may need one more week to complete it
Week 6 - complete reports and send them back
Week 7 - Skype to say hi "in person"
Please let me know if this sounds like something you'd like to do!
~Nicole
