Article Exchange: Taiwan & New York Jacqueline LaRosa During the 2010- 2011 school year students in New York participated in an article exchange with students in Taiwan. The student participants in New York were in the fifth and sixth grades. Their goal was to create a school newspaper that would be viewable online through their school’s internal network. They wrote articles about sports, books, movies, and recipes. Several of the articles that were written by the students in New York were sent to the students in Taiwan via email. Likewise, the students in Taiwan sent articles to the students in New York. This was a wonderful experience for the students because they were able to showcase their work in a larger forum. They felt fulfilled by their accomplishments. They became more culturally aware, and were able to form connections with students that they would not have had the opportunity to if not for Know My World.
