Virtual Pen Pals Project: Local History

** Who students communicate with: Students will communicate via ePals with 3rd graders in Shawnee, OK.

*At what point in the project will students communicate? Students will communicate after each section of the project has been researched - Dreams We Shared, Things We Created, and Things We Built.

*What questions will students ask one another, what information will they share? Students will compare what they have found for each section of the project. They will discuss the things that their communities have created, what has been destroyed (and by whom), and major changes in their lives that may have caused them to repeat stages. Finally, they will compare what goals each community has today.

*What will students do with their information? Students will create a second visual representation of the Potawatomi history as it compares to the colonial history of America. Students will then write a short personal essay on their feeling about the Potawatomi history and how it has been affected by the colonialhistory of America. How does the Potawatomi history make you feel about the history of America?
