Friendly Letters and Learning

Annotated Research

 Question: What can Sixth-graders learn from writing letters to teacher education students and vice-versa?

Answer: “Writing letters to teacher education students was rewarding both personally and as a learning experience for sixth graders.” M Crowhurst. 1990). P. 239.

Comment: From this summary, no details about what the students wrote to the teacher education students. What were the topics? What did the students learn from the teacher education students? What did the teacher education students learn from the sixth-graders? I think the possibilities of this activity are enormous. RayS.
