Voice Thread

This I Believe Assignment

Above is the Voice Thread I created for use in my language arts classroom. I am going to ask my students to write a "This I Believe" essay, and I thought that it would be fun for them to record their essays on Voice Thread. I shared one of my favorite essays by Bill Gates. I recorded "Unleashing the Power of Creativity" on Voice Thread. I have had some experience recording in Voice Thread, so it was fairly simple to create. Our librarian has been recording information on her website, and teachers and students have been replying to these Voice Threads. It seems like a great way to share writing. The example I found was called "Prepositional Poems and Historical Fiction Projects." Junior high students read their poetry and children's books as images of this work was displayed on the screen. This is how I see myself using Voice Thread. I plan for my students to read their work and upload art work or photographs that complement their writing. Here is the link to "Prepositional Poems and Historical Fiction Projects":
