Number 12 __Poetry__, hit a distinct cord with me. I remember this past April during Poetry month and trying to create something unique to engage fifth grade students during a mini-workshop. Having read this cool way of incorporating music into curriculum sounds fun and innovative for the fifth graders. I'll surely try it this coming school year. Wish me luck!

=<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> Assignment 9 & Final Project = By using [|Voicethread] I will create booktalks on several young adult books such as, [|A Mango-shaped space] by [|Wendy Mass], [|The Revealers] by [|Doug Wilhelm] and [|Diary of a Wimpy Kid] by [|Jeff Kinney]. The Voicethread will be used as an electronic vehicle in how book summaries can be created by doing a little show n' tell, process and create with Literature with Lunch kiddos. Some kids only get 20 minutes to eat so, the time left was to discuss the book read, comment and make suggestions. I like to share a few essential questions to kids. By using Voicethread the small amount of time we have can be extended to so much more and allow others to tap into books within a different format. What a perfect way for kids to reflect on the books and quickly summarize and post for feedback, learn another tool for their tool belt and post publicly for comments. [| Literature with Lunch] Voicethread will offer students another way to share some new and not so new reads otherwise forgotten!

Booktalks can be so much fun using Voicethread. Here are just a few thoughts along with some conversation with Alice Barr, while putting this list together:
 * Collaborate with our Literacy Coach on [|appropriate, constructive comments] when blogging/commenting on others Voicethread booktalk creations.
 * Discuss how the books are recorded, what kind of voice was used when recording the booktalk ie. what is tonation, diction, fluctuation?...
 * How to use the microphone and other equipment?
 * Mini-workshops on Voicethread for a show n' tell throughout the year, staff development or any other professional time ie. library hosting bagels n' coffee/tea breakfast mini-workshops (Free food-Yah!).
 * Experiment with[| Audacity>]
 * What type of [|rubric] would fit this kind of creation?
 * Here's an example of a storyboard for podcasting
 * Connect with other teachers in creating more [|Voicethreads] for any subject area.
 * Familiarize students about the school philosophy, Ready, Respectful and Responsible - discuss further
 * Any other suggestions to add?
