Project Description:
Schools from two different countries exchange (real or virtual) box full of cultural items such as cultural clothes, food and ornaments. The project will have schools matched according to age and country. Their first interaction will be online through the iEARN forum where they will exchange information about themselves, schools, town and country. The second stage the teacher asks the students to search and collect items that relate to their cultures, clothes, food, snacks, lucky charms and everything that they think represents their county. They will also write informative descriptions of the items, wrap the box and send it by mail. The final step is when they receive the package, they write in the forum about their reactions, and if they have extra questions about the items.
