Project+Outline

__**Proposed Project Outline**__
Note: All activities will be done **//en francais//**.

Part 1 Deadline : March 18

Students at each school will gather to identify a mascot (e.g. stuffed animal, etc). They will name him/her/it, write a letter of introduction (e.g. credentials) which all class project members will sign and the ambassador will be sent to the other school. Schools may also exchange some small trinkets (e.g. pins, pens, etc) with the other school.

Part 2 Deadline: March 27th Video-conference Number 1; Students will "meet" virtually for the first time. They will have prepared personal introductions and will introduce themselves individually to the other school. Each class will also have prepared a list of 5 things they would like to learn about the other community. These questions will be asked in French during the video Conference. Both their personal introductions and their 5 questions will be posted on the wiki. The package containing the ambassador and the trinkets will also be opened during this videoconference.

Part 3 Deadline: April 17th Students will be broken into teams of 2 or 3. Each team will take the ambassador on visits to various places of interest around their school and community. These visits will explore those places and things that have particular social or cultural interest. Students will take still photography of the ambassador at these locations. Student teams will then produce narrated slideshows (e.g. photostory, etc) of the travels of the ambassador as he/she tours the school / community. These stories would be written/narrated in the first person from the perspective of the ambassador. These videos would be placed on the wiki for sharing. The five things the students from the other school would want to know would have to be answered in the travels.

Part 4 Deadline: April 29th Video Conference Number 2 Students will link up again to present their travels and answer the five questions asked by the other school.
