Mod 8 Part 2
I think that Shelfari would be a great resource for global cooperation project. What appealed to me most about this site was the ability to leave comments and rate books. I think that students that were involved in some sort of cultural exchange could definitely use this site to compare and contrast opinions on books with their foreign coevals. For example, students could compile questions about a FL books and send them to their overseas partners, or visa-versa. Students could share not only vocabulary and language issues, but also understand cultural aspects of a reading directly from members of the target culture.

Patrick,
Yes, there are certainly many ways you could use Shelfari. If books are available in two languages, that would one way to do the reading quickly and focus on writing reviews. For advanced students, it would certainly be intriguing to see how students from other cultures interpret the same book that both goups read.
