This iEARN project aims to foster tolerance and understanding of cultures other than your own. After teachers register, the facilitator matches you with a partner class. Once paired, classes send each other a Teddy Bear or other soft toy by airmail through the normal postal system. The bear sends home diary messages by email or through the iEARN Teddy Bear Forum at least once a week. The students write the diary messages as if they are the visiting bear describing its experiences in the new culture. Available for Prep/Kinder to Year 9, this project provides opportunities for authentic writing by providing the students with a real audience. http://media.iearn.org/projects/teddybear
