Skyping with India

Tomorrow morning is a big day! My 3rd graders will be Skyping with a family friend, of one of my students, who is currently living in New Delhi, India. We watched a National Geographic Kids video from their website.??

We also watched a video from her own blog which showed the many types of transportation used in India.??

Here are the questions we came up with. I will be printing this out for all the students so they can take notes. Then we will write together a 'blog post' on our wiki.??

********

Do people wear clothes like we see in the US? If not, what kind of clothes do they wear?

We saw your video on your blog trying to cross the busy street. How hard is it to get around since there are so many people in India?

What kind of transportation do you use???

What kind of foods can you eat in India?

Do you miss any foods from the US that you can???t get in India?

Is it hard to communicate? What languages are spoken in India? Do you speak any languages other than English???

Do your boys play with different types of toys now that they are in India?

What kind of jobs are in India?

What is the weather like? How is it different from the region you came from?

What holiday???s are celebrated? Do people celebrate Christmas?
