Today we talked to a fifth grade class in Gadsen, Alabama. They are doing a "50 States" Project. Their wiki is at http://50statesproject.wikispaces.com/.
Last week, we contributed facts about Texas to their site. Today we shared these facts, and they shared theirs about Alabama. Then there was a chance for Q & A, which was enjoyable until the end when one student asked if we were "ready to lose the national championship again"! It was actually really funny, although some of my students got pretty steamed! But it was a good opportunity to talk about not being sore losers.
Right now, the students are writing a letter to Ms. Howard telling about their experiences talking to students in New York and Alabama. Since we've been studying persuasive writing, they also have to share which place they would rather visit and persuade her why it is better.
