By establishing email connections to libraries, museums and universities students again knowledge by asking questions and getting answers. By asking question about any number of topics and get responses from experts in that field.
Initiate email correspondence with elected officials and other public policy markers.
Emails offer a way for students to express their views to public officials. In subjects like English or Social Studies students can prepare a cogent written argument advocating a change in government policy.
I really think it is a great idea to allow the students to express their views of public officials. I think it is a good way to get them ready for the government policies they will face in their adulthood. I think that it's important that the students know that everyone's voices matters in a democratic society.
Do you think that this can also have a negative effect on the students?
I don't see any negative effects from students learning to contact government officials. I think it's important for students to learn to get involved with their community.
