Collaboration for grades 4 - 8

by Sharon Betts

"BRAIDS AROUND THE GLOBE"

Collaboration for the 9-14 year olds can be difficult to find. Last year, I mentored a project for this group to exchange cultures and ideas - we had members from around the world. We called the project Classroom Braids. Interlacing lives, culture and learning, Classroom Braids is a metaphor for weaving together lives and cultures.

This year, the collaboration is based on world travel - especially sailing and the Vendee Globe.
