<p>Hi Ben</p>
<p>I'm sure we have students in our 4-6's classes who would love to connect with your class. We are located in the Latrobe Valley an power influenced industrial area in Gippsland, Victoria Australia. We only have 5 grades at our school and 110 students. As yet we don't have any global projects on the go, but are looking to connect. Next term (from Oc 9th) we are moving into our new building which will house 3 grades (year 2/3/4, year 4/5 and year 5/6). It will be a perfect…</p>
<p>Hi Ben</p>
<p>I'm sure we have students in our 4-6's classes who would love to connect with your class. We are located in the Latrobe Valley an power influenced industrial area in Gippsland, Victoria Australia. We only have 5 grades at our school and 110 students. As yet we don't have any global projects on the go, but are looking to connect. Next term (from Oc 9th) we are moving into our new building which will house 3 grades (year 2/3/4, year 4/5 and year 5/6). It will be a perfect oppotunity to have a project started with another school as we will have a shared collaborative area in this building and access to 30 netbooks.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think and I can arrange it with the teachers.</p>

<p>We would have kids (or small groups of kids) read the same book(s) and then they would "meet" to discuss them, either in a moderated chat room or via Skype. If live interaction isn't possible, we could use a group on Edmodo to discuss the books. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the end of the book, there could be a culminating activity of some sorts that partners or small groups in each class have to collaborate on to complete.</p>

<p>Let me know if this interests you. I might not be looking to do this with my whole class this year (last year we did it with books we read aloud) but I may have small groups of students interested in partnering.

Was wondering if you could go into more detail about the bookclub project. It sounds really interesting but I am not sure exactly how it would look in action. I have a grade 5 / 6 combined grade.
