Your plan sounds perfect! Let's do that.

By the way, as creating and exchanging school movie doesn't require very advanced English skills (I mean it's not something like having discussion where students have to respond spontaneously in English), I think my 7th grade students are capable of the project. If you think they would be more appropriate for your students, I can do that too.

Also, your bald eagle project sounds very interesting. Please keep me updated.

Since my students are learning English as their second language, I don't think they are capable of doing very advanced research projects.

However, I think 10th graders can:

- make a short movie to introduce our school or Japanese school in general (it can be interesting if your students and my students exchange short movies or reports on their school lives and give comments each other)

- share reviews on their favorite books/tv programmes/ movies (would be interesting if both of your and my students watch same movie and share their comments each other)

- write and exchange creative writing

If you have any ideas, please let me know!
