I would love to talk further with you about collaboration, particularly during your political unit in October.<br />

<br />
I like your idea about debating from canadites' points of view and here is another twist to consider... the past few years I have teamed up with a Government class to create political parties amongst the students in my Contemporary Lit class. They studied issues in their Government class and then we put together party platforms in English class. These platforms were then posted online and our entire school had a chance to review them and sign up for the party of their choice. I think it would be great to extend this project so that students at sites across the country were developing party platforms. Perhaps we could even mix parties across "site lines" and have them create their platforms together on a wiki.<br />

Let me know if you are interested in fleshing something out.<br />

Hi Paul<br />
<br />
I am interested in a bit of collaboration as you may have seen from my reply to Katy. What subject do you teach? History? I have a history teacher wanting to get her teeth into something new and exciting. This may well be right up her street.<br />
<br />
You're 4 hours behind (I think) so it would need to be an AM thing if you're interested and we wanted to communicate in real-time rather than through a blog or whatever.<br />
