Chapter 5, 7

Activity 4 from chapter 5 reminded me of what we did back at home. We had pen friends and we were supposed to write letters to them. When I was a kid I really enjoyed this kind of activity, I remember I was so proud to have a non-native friend that I was telling everyone about her. I think that this type of activity is a great chance to practice language skills. Besides, students learn the format of the letter. Moreover, it is very authentic.
In Chapter 7 the author described different project activities. Evaluating the web pages might be helpful for those who are doing research to differentiate authentic from untrustworthy ones. Other project activities mentioned in this Chapter are very interesting.
