Jack Pillemer's site – number 2 English teaching and other odds and ends.
This
site has been created as an extension to my first
site which can be found at www.geocities.com/jackpillemer
This
project and was decided upon because it is simple to carry out and yet has
unlimited potential for English teaching. An
English speaker living outside Israel,
whom I refer to as “the virtual visitor”– in most cases an adult but
not necessarily so – writes a simple email letter of approximately 10-15 sentences
addressed to a specific English class. The letter is sent to the English
teacher of the class who then uses the text of the letter in numerous ways to
bring the "outside English world into the classroom". Click on
the link for a much more detailed description of the project. Perhaps you
will find the idea exciting and decide to use it in your class
This is a report of
what took place in English teacher Tobi Hendel's 6th grade English class in
response to letters from Virtual Visitor Tova Britvan –from My experience with the Virtual Visitor - An interim progress report by Ruth Sheffer - November,2008
