If your students feel strongly about a track, like "Animal's Rights", let them send us a photo of themselves to be posted by their statements. This will strengthen what they say. Also, in return, we will post their statements higher up on the list.

Before you start, make sure your students have received their Kidlink nicknames. Explain the effects of posting to the web, that is, that everybody will be able to see it, like friends, parents, and strangers. For this reason, they may want to get it right, and not write so short that others think it is uninteresting.

We will post their views in this way:

Taviana from Canada : When I grow up I would like no pollution anywhere in the world. I can take steps to recycle garbage and this will help the problem of pollution.

Only persons 15 years of age or younger will be able to write Taviana using KidMail. Her e-mail address will not be shown.

If we receive statements from many students in your class, then we may post them on a special page linked to from the source page.
