Pen pals

letters 2

The French and American pupils began writing letters a few months ago. We asked them to write in both languages. Indeed, we thought if they  only wrote in their  practicing

language, the ideas they expressed  might be limited. The exchange would  be more interesting if they could  express themselves naturally. Other advantages included both parties

improving their reading skills. This would help their vocabulary, idioms, natural syntax, and promote  cultural exchange.

We received around 50 letters from Austin … nothing was imposed on the pupils as to what should have been  written or not. Here are some of them.

→ Cassie to Emeline  letter 1

→Madie to Valéran letter 2

→Riley to Vincent letter 3

→Saddik to Jules letter 4

→Hannah to Félia Letter 5

Let’s put pen to paper !

Here are some answers of the pupils to their overseas buddies.It would be easy to assume that email and social media killed off the traditional pen pal system. However, no one  in the class objected to typing notes detailing favourite hobbies or asking questions about the American elections .(nothing has been corrected )

→Antoine to Elisabeth  →letter A

→Marie to Hannah →letter B

→Camille to Sydnee→letter C

→ Arthur to Adam →letter D
