Global+Communicator

=Global Communicator=

Reilly and Karen:
We accepted the role of Global Communicator with open arms. Our goal was to skype or communicate and have a discussion with another class that is reading invisible man. We did not get a response back from our e-mails from Lincoln Sudbury High School. We stayed on this topic for two weeks and still were not successful. Good luck to the next Global Communicator.

Henry and Danny
During the past week Danny and I assumed the role of Global Communicator. When we were first assigned this role we faced many questions and much confusion. Our first step was brainstorming what exactly this title involved. After pondering the wide range of topics we could chose we decided to communicate with other high school classes, reading and discussing our current book, //Invisible Man// by Ralph Ellison. Before finding another class to communicate with, we drafted the e-mail in which we would send to different classes. After much research on Google, we stumbled across a Massachusetts high school class blog, with the main topic of //Invisible Man.// After posting our e-mail on the blog we decided that we would need to draft a question on the book, for when the class responded. We are still waiting for a response but in our possession we hold a topic specific question for the other classes.

Danny's and Henry's model e-mail to other classes:

Dear ________ class,

We are writing to you (and your class) because we are reading and learning about Invisible Manby Ralph Ellison as well. As a class, we constructed an idea to have a conversation with other classes around the country. After looking online, we discovered your Invisible Man blog and were drawn to email you about this opportunity. Our class has been uncovering the figurative and descriptive language within the lines of Ralph Ellison’s famous book. A Skype session between our classes would allow us to expand our knowledge as well and hopefully discovering new aspects of the book and of learning. If you are interested, please email us back.

Sincerely, Mr. Neal’s English Class @http://smith215.blogspot.com/
