 | 42014 - from Christine (USA) - 2011-10-26 High school : "**Looking to Pen Pal with HS students from "the South" about the Civil War."
|
Hi,
I'm looking for some students who would like to pen pal with some students from a suburban high school in Massachusetts. We are going to be learning about the Civil War this year and one of the areas of study is "sectionalism" and the divide between the North and South that in some ways carries into the present day.
It would be great to have our students interact about what they are learning about the Civil War so they can discuss the way the teachers are approaching the subject, how the students are responding, and what our impressions are about each other given some of the stereotypes that often prevail about the "other".
I think if we structure this properly, this could be a really transformative experience for all the students, and the teachers as well.
Hope to hear from you.
