Social Networking for my thematic unit "Globalization"
In the following you will find the steps I will follow when creating a social networking for girls of  the 11th grade  at the German School of Alexandria:

Step #1: Finding ePals for my students:
1. Create a teacher account in ePals.
2. Post the following message in the "teacher" forum:
"My students are in grade 11. Their native language is Arabic. German is their first foreign language. This year we will study "globalization". We want to collaborate for 4weeks with classes from Germany on a project about:
- What is globalization?
- What are the ramifications of globalization?
If you are interested, please send an e-mail to [email protected] .
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Step #2:

3. Students will chat together about: What is globalization? and What are the ramifications of globalization?
4. Students will support their point of view using weblinks, videos or photos.
5. Students will state the reason for their choice and give a description to it.
6. Students have to comment at least two posts of the other classmates.

Step #3:
Objective: Students will know how much our life is affected by globalization.

4. After chatting  with each other, students will come up with concrete fields.
6. The teacher will create the number of groups according to the number of suggested fields.
7. Members of the groups will be created by the students according to their preferences.
8. Every group will chat together using Skype.
