Voice+Threads

[|4th grade reading] Here is a collaborative student project where they got to make a paper version of a quilt they read about. Then, they made this Voice Thread to reinforce the purpose of the craft and touch on the important ideas from the book. By talking about their craft, it reinforced the important facts and associates the craft to the facts to avoid memorization. [|4th grade writing activity] A teacher has filmed different crafts the students did to help improve some difficult language problems. They learned about syndromes, which expanded the words they would write with, and they used booklets to review their parts of speech. Another writing craft was picking a word and then finding all the different meanings and matching a picture. The students probably took more care with their crafts knowing that they would be filmed and they learned and reviewed important writing ideas. [|4th grade Social Studies] This teacher put book pictures and his lessons online to give students the opportunity to comment, ask questions, and to have access at all times. I really like this idea. It feel very one-on-one and can be done at the student's pace. [|4th grade art] Voice thread provided excellent picture representations and a vocal description to help students understand various ideas of art involving the color wheel.
