| Title | Keypal Project: Valid for any language |
| Body | The best idea I ever implemented in my 36 years of teaching was a keypal project between my high school L2 Spanish students and a class of third grade migrant kids who were native speakers. The students exchanged weekly e-mails. During the span of a semester, my students made a quantum leap in their writing skills. They decided to send a 'community' Christmas gift to their keypals, including gifts such as maps of our city, photos of family members, homemade foods, etc. Their Spanish-speaking counterparts did the same thing. On the downside, my students' vocabulary suddenly included the jargon of eight year olds, including the spelling mistakes commonly made by kids in that age group. Conley, P. (15 Jun. 2004).
