After we finish it, we’ll send the works to both of you; so that you can post them on the school bulletin or any other way you like to show them. This is what we are working on now.

As for the topic of communication and interaction in the future, we have an idea that maybe we could plan some tours of our own hometown. Because Rick mentioned that they are working on Indian history now, we are so curious about that and it would be great if we can have some planned routes when we visit there one day.

Moon Festival / Mid-Autumn Festival

My Dears:

Moon Festival is in the air!!!

Here is the story of Mid-Autumn Festival. (取自全民英語檢定輔導月刊)

Once upon a time in September, there were ten suns shining in the sky and the weather was so hot that families couldn't grow crops. People had nothing to eat, and they started to get sick.

A brave man shot down nine of the suns with his bow and arrows. He was a hero, and the Emperor gave him a lot of money and power. He was having a good time, but he became greedy. He wanted more.

He rode through the mountains to find a rabbit that could give him magical pills that would make him live forever.

His wife was afraid that he would do evil deeds, so while he slept, she stole the magical pills and took them herself.

She flew to the moon, but couldn't get back, and so she must stay there forever. She still lives there with the rabbit that made the pills. Can you see her?

Now, it's Helen's turn to ask you some questions.

1. When is Mid-Autumn Festival?

2. How will you spend Mid-Autumn Festival?

3. How do people spend Mid-Autumn Festival in Taiwan?

4. What kind of food do people eat in Mid-Autumn Festival?

5. What heppened when Chand En (嫦娥) took the pills?

Here are some useful words and phrases about Moon Festival.

1. 月餅 - moon cake

2. 烤肉 - barbecue

3. 柚子 - pomelo

4. 滿月 - full moon

5. 習俗 - custom

6. 傳說/神話 - legend

7. 家庭團聚 - family reunion

8. 嫦娥 - The Goddess of the Moon

9. 玉兔 - rabbit

Welcome to the 2009/10 GVC Contest

Hello Global Virtual Classroom Contest Applicants...

Welcome to the GVC 2009/10 Contest.

This note is meant to acknowledge your application and provide you with
information on getting started and prepared for team assignments and start
of activity.

The purpose of this note is to provide you with information on entering the
GVC "Teacher's Lounge" set up for the program, and through it, re-confirm
your intention of participating. This area is open to teachers before teams
are assigned so you have time to get accustomed to the Nicenet environment
before your students get involved.

Once you are signed into the GVC "Teacher's Lounge," you'll see a message
from me in the "Conference" area instructing you to send me a "Personal
Message" through the Nicenet Internet Classroom Assistant system to let me
know that you have registered here and that you should be in the list of GVC
schools to be teamed up with others. If you have decided not to participate
in the GVC program after completing the online application, please let me
know by replying to this email without signing into the Nicenet "Teacher's
Lounge." And please do so before the September 25 deadline for applications.

OK -- To get you signed into the GVC 2009/10 Teacher's Lounge in Nicenet...

On the web, go to...< http://www.nicenet.org >

If you are new to the program this year, or if you have forgotten your login
information from previous years and want to set up a new username, click
where it says "Students: Join a Class" under "New Users Start Here." (Yes,
for this purpose, you are a "student.")

(If you have been part of the GVC program in past years and remember your
username and password, or if you can retrieve them via Nicenet's "Forgot
Your Password?" link on their front page, log in the way you used to, and
click on the "Join" link under "Classes" in the left column, and enter the
class key given below.)

You will be taken to a page that asks for a class key. Enter...

E276754GZ4

...in the space provided and click the "Join the Class" button.

You'll be taken to another form. This is designed to be a fast and easy way
to get started. You will have more options once you have joined your class
(the Teacher's Lounge in this case). The information you provide can be
changed later.

NOTE: Do not use this form if you already have a username and password that
you know and want to continue using. If you can access your user account
from previous year's programs, Log In (
http://www.nicenet.org/ICA/login.cfm ) and then join your class by following
the links under the Classes menu on the navigation.

The form makes a distinction between required and optional information. For
the GVC program, all of the listed items are REQUIRED:

Username: ----- WRITE THIS DOWN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Password: ----- WRITE THIS DOWN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Email*:
Email Confirmation*:
First Name:
Last Name:

When all these are entered, click the "Join the Class" button. You'll be
taken to a page that feeds back to you your user name. Hopefully, you wrote
down your password. You'll also be given some fine print about Nicenet and a
button to "Finish Registration." , click it.

Next stop is a page asking for your username and password. Enter them and
click on "Log in to the ICA" button. You'll be taken to the home page for
the GVC 2009/10 Teacher's Lounge, where you'll see access to personal
messages (for private or small group communication), conferencing (for
public messages), link sharing, and documents.

Before you start exploring the environment and interacting with each other,
look to the left for a link that says "Edit User Profile." Click it and add
an abbreviated name of your country in the "Phone" field to help identifying
yourself. I'm asking for an abbreviation because when teams are assigned at
the end of September, you'll be adding your team number to it as well and
don't want to use too much space.

(If you were a previous GVC participant from before we started using
Nicenet, make sure you identify your country in this way, and delete any old
GVC team number that you might have entered last year. Also, if you are a
previous participant, while you're in the User Profile page, be sure to
choose GVC 2009/10 Teacher's Lounge as your Default Class. Later, you'll
probably want to change this to your new team space.)

After adding your country abbreviation and default classroom, click on the
"Edit User Info" button at the bottom of the page, and you should find
yourself back at the Teacher's Lounge home page. Please explore the various
Nicenet features so you are ready to use them by the time your teams are
assigned and your students arrive. I'll be loading some information in the
conferencing and link sharing areas. Feel free to look through them, ask
questions, and contribute yourself. The conferencing area here will be the
primary center of communication between you and I during the program.

Once you're in, please explore what I've started in the Conferencing
section, and be sure to look for the posting there that asks for your
confirmation of successful entry into the Teachers' Lounge.

Let's have fun...I'll see you on the web....
