Saturday, Sept. 25
Email sent to al members by Frank: Hi,

Here is our Challenge: Make cross-cultural connections by sharing folktales

Our challenge is very broad. I'm thinking that to accomplish this goal we would need to have another country share their folktales with us too. What if we took a famous folktale that has several versions from around the globe and compare them to the generic American version.

One idea is that the students could read litereature to each other via Skype or create a voice thread using the books images and have teh students their own audi. Another idea would be to create a video in a common craft type presentation. []

I'm just trying to brainstorm. I'll post this on diigo too. I'd love ot hear your ideas too?
