Have you ever written a letter to the future? If not, you should. Letter to the Future was an activity I applied in my classes when I was working for a high school. My students wrote letters to students, children, politicians, youth of the future. Some of them wrote letters to their future selves. I collected the letters and hopefully I will send their letters back by post in 2023.

When I started to teach at a primary school, I used the same activity. But, this time I asked sixth graders to write a postcard to fifth graders, who would replace them. Because, writing a detailed letter could be challenging for them. I asked seventh graders to write a letter to sixth graders. And, I asked eight graders to write letter to seventh graders. Before this activity, they should learn how to write a letter. It was an assignment and I expected them to write about their experiences in my classes and suggestions  to their friends.

While I was writing this post, and as a connection to my previous post, I decided to start a project on Wikispace on this topic. I generated a new page on my Wikispace and prepared a poster on GlogsterEdu (by the way, you should take a look at GlogsterEdu, just discover it yourself) I invite all of you to join this project and hopefully I'll invite teachers from all over the world to join it. To learn how to join it, you just need to click The Letter to the Future Project and read the information on and below the poster.
