Dear Gloria,
First Term: Students will write a letter, based on a template provided by the teacher, (we will provide you with the template) to describe their family, their house and pets (if any). The presentation will include personal photos. The letters must be sent no later than mid-November.
December: The first video call, dedicated to greetings and exchanging Christmas carols, must be scheduled by the middle of the month. It will be an occasion in which students will have the chance to see their penfriend and ask some questions directly.
Second Term (from April): Working in pairs or small groups, students will record a short audio clip about their daily routine in the form of an interview. Teachers will handle the exchange of audio files with the partner school.
May: Scheduling of the second video call during which students will ask each other questions about their daily routine.
General Note for All Classes
All students will be given the opportunity to exchange emails with a student from the partner school. This correspondence will be carried out on a voluntary basis, depending on the availability of the partner school.
