Earthquake pen pals in Sichuan

So for our last week we did the earth quake correspondence class for the seventh graders and the library jeopardy for the eighth graders.



My apologies for the poor quality of the picture as it was taken in a dark room with the projector. We were very surprised that they did have a projector in this school though.



Then of course the projector quit working on us so we resorted back into the traditional classroom mode and had the kids writing letters with markers in English to kids who were affected by the Sichuan earthquake.



This was one of the finished products being held up.



This is a sample of the format of the letter. Our aim was to try to teach some English and let the kids be artistic and creative at the same time.



Another example, this one was written on the back. These student's chinese are quite good, which means, better than I can do.
