Mark Twain: from Mississippi to Dnipro

Using the magic strength of the Internet, we shall visit the coast of Mississippi as well as other places of the world where Mark Twain lived. Enthralling adventures through the map of life and travel of this favorite writer in America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia over the Internet will help students and teachers to learn about his life and writings. Students from different countries will find Web-pages and museums, create virtual map, write short stories, art work, and create Monuments of Friendship. Let's travel through time and space together! Let's write the letters to friends who are living in places, where Mark Twain lived and traveled once. Respond, Toms Sawyers from America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia! Let's create a fascinating map of Mark Twain travels (with colors, pictures, symbols and so on). Imagine that you came into the world of heroes of Mark Twain. What would you want to talk about with Tom, Becky, Huck? Represent these heroes in pictures, in illustrations! Imagine yourself in a role of the beginning writer (Samuel Clemens once made first step too)! Write the stories of an episode of the childhood in any genre.
