 * Description**: Schillinger connects her classroom with another teacher's in a vastly different part of town; the students in both classes read the same material and participate in relevant discussions online. The project culminates with both groups able to finally meet in person and learn each other's real names and connect them with their screen names. The students not only learn about the text they are reading, but also about how the differences in their cultures affect how they read and interpret the text.
