Hi,
I am writing to invite your Grade 5, 6 or year 7 students to an online discussion of an issue covered recently in Behind the News. The discussion will be around the question “Is it a good idea for kids to go to work after school?”. The story featured on the Australian kids' news site "Behind the News", which, as well as videos and guides for interschool discussions, can be found here: http://thenorthschool.com/discussion . Students research the topic before participating in the discussion.
The online discussion would be held between 9.30am and 10.30am AEST on Monday, August 8th. All you need is one Skype account for you or your school, connection to the internet, and a computer for each of the students whom you would like to participate.
If you are interested in participating, send me the names of the students who will be a part of the discussion and I will set up the links you require to participate.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask.
We look forward to seeing you online!
Many thanks,
Dr Robert Sbaglia
