Voice Thread

For my sixth grade language arts students next year, I checked out several Voice Threads that I found either adaptable or usuable as they were. Already created Voice Threads that I would like to use are ones on prepositions and cause and effect. Both of these would be good introductory interactice activities. One idea that I thought of relating to another person's Voice Thread was for each student to have a graphic and written copy of a poem he or she had created, accompanied by a recording of the student reading the poem. Another use of Voice Thread would be for all students to respond briefly to a teacher posted openended question relating to literature. Also, I am definitely planning on having my students use Voice Thread for their first "extra" book report. It will be quite similar to what we did last year. Each student will choose a representative picture with his book title and author written on it. The student will record answers to preassigned questions relating to the books. Each student will sign up for a different book and will be asked to comment on at least two other students' books.
