The Lorax Voice Thread
The class first created an individual avatar on the Build Your Wild Self website which was a lot of fun. (I have added a link in Literacy Links in the Other section if you would like to build some more.) Next week they will be writing descriptive sentences about their avatar. I then used a program called Voice Thread to record oral responses from the children to the literature. I needed some technical assistance from another blogging teacher in Western Australia!
The children were aware that the movie The Lorax is coming soon. You can view the trailer on YouTube if you wish but be careful of the pop up ads. Mrs P has shown the teachers how to use Quiet Tube on our Macs. This program allows you to watch YouTube videos on a blank white backdrop with no advertising or comments seen. Thank you Mrs P, this is much less distracting. Next week we will be discussing the differences between the movie version of the Lorax and the book.
I hope you enjoy watching our Voice Thread. Ms Taylor

I LOVE THE STORY. BY Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteHi 2T,
ReplyDeleteI loved the voice threads! I also especially like Dr Suess too! (yes some adults are allowed to like Dr Suess) Ms Taylor may like to look at "the places you'll go" http://youtu.be/ahv_1IS7SiE it is a grown ups one so you may like to check it first! but I really like it and I can't wait to see the Lorax!
Finn's Dad
Finn's Dad has an interesting link in his comment. It is most suitable for adults to view. An interesting, thought provoking look at one of Dr Suess' books. Children's books are not all aimed at kids. They often have messages for adults. Ms Taylor
