The Project:

Kids in Scotland and the US carried on a story exchange, trading tales of their lives and their school days. They shared their writing and photography with each other and made introductory videos where they asked and answered questions from the other country. Here’s the video made by the West Palm Beach students; click the Play button and then click on the YouTube icon to make it larger. And if you look carefully, you can see the Scottish students on the screens in the video!
