那位芭蕾老师给我发了个email,昨天又跟他直接聊了一下,基本上是个小学生文化交流的项目,类似我们以前的友谊班级,两地的班级互相交流,内容包括音乐(唱歌)、舞蹈、绘画、作文、手工等,任何的文化、艺术形式都可。作品通过email交流,平时的沟通也通过email。因此我感觉,联系的这个学校,具备录像、互联网这些东西就可以了,另外,有英语老师协助班主任进行英语交流就最好。
Dear xxxx,
I write to you in hopes that you will be able to make a connection for us to classrooms in China. I will attempt to explain what our project is about and what we are looking to accomplish. I have been involved with an elementary school here in xxxxxxxx for the past three years in an integrated arts learning program. The program reinforces lessons learned in the classrooms through music, visual art and dance.
The name of our project is entitled The Connections Project. Over the past three years of the project we have explored the multifacted concept and variety of relationships that are present in our daily lives as well as the sphere of influence they have in our community, culture, country and world. The exploration of these relationships has been through the study of different countries Year 1 - Mexico, Year 2 - Australia, Year 3 - China. In this lat year of the project we want to revisit these countries and explore them through the use of technology. We are hoping to connect with classrooms in the countries we have studied to share and exchange work. We have 2 third grade classrooms that are studying China and would like to connect each with a classroom in China to possibly exchange videotaped lessons, student written work, art work, dances, songs, any variety of information that could be exchanged to create a global relationship with a similar classroom of students.
If there is any way that you could help us accomplish this I would be very grateful for your help. Please let me know what you may be able to do to help us. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mark
