I teach 7th and 8th grade Pre-AP Reading/Writing at a small, rural school in Texas. I anticipate having around 24 students this year between the ages of 12-14. Our school year starts on August 23rd. English is their first and only language. We have access to computers and other technology, and my students will be using blogs this year to discuss and share ideas about books they will be reading. I'm looking for ePals and/or snail mail pals from all over the world, so my students can strengthen and practice their communication skills. We would like to discuss daily life, interests, cultures, books, and/or take part in a project. We would like to communicate with several schools.
