Hi! My name is Paul, and I'm teaching English in Japan. I'm looking for elementary school penpals (culture sharing email pals, to be honest ) for 6th graders! This is to mostly to give our students a chance to learn about school life in other countries, and actually getting a chance to USE English in a practical situation! With your help, the students would write a very brief email, on different topics like: today's lunch menu, our school pet, our sports festival, etc. Scans of hand hand written descriptions, photos, recorded sound clips would make it even more exciting for the kids!! Please let me know if you're interested, thanks all!!
Paul

Paul or anyone interested - I have some elementary school students who are dying to do project exchanges. Although we are both in Japan my students would still like to do a project exchange.
My students have already done the project so you can just download it and do it with your students and share our completed project with them. When you're finished email a couple of yours back to me.

It's a project where students create their own superhero and then write-up a report about their superhero and a superhero from their country.
I'd be willing to do the GenkiEnglish project with you as well. I'd like to make a menu for their own rest. if possible. Just drop me an email.
