10. A University Environmental Project

Three teachers in three different universities organized a project focusing on the environment for students in their courses. Students formed groups to find the best solution for a real-world environmental problem via e-mail. Each group had to finish a variety of genre writing and gave oral presentations at the end of the semester. Other students voted on the best projects.

I think this is an interesting international project. It looks like a competition where students can compete with other students around the world. It helps develop students' writing skills, problem solving skills and give students a taste of collaboration with people from other parts of the world.
