Dear American and Moldovan educators,
It is winter vacation time, so we are taking a short break until January 2, 2017. In the meantime, your students are invited to work on one simple task, that we call ”the rule of 3 replies”. Please ask them to check the Fun Facts about North Carolina and Moldova comments posted by their peers from across the Atlantic and write back to at least 3 of them. They could ask questions about what has been posted on the blog, answers questions, add details, ask for clarifications and simply enjoy the online interaction while learning about our two states. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!
Dear American and Moldova teachers,
We had a truly exciting month and managed to establish a wonderful connection between American and Moldova students through our project blog. Let's take a short break (from December 11 to December 17) to check our progress and revise the tasks included in the first three assignments. Please fill in the progress check survey posted on the project blog and if there are any tasks you or your students missed out, please take advantage of this time to catch up. Good luck and have a wonderful month of December! Assignment # 1 Assignment # 2 Assignment # 3 Task 1
