My 7th graders have just read The Giver and written essays on aspects of what their perfect worlds would look like. Then, we have been adding to a VoiceThread I created. I embedded it below, but if you want to see the larger version, follow this link to the actual page.
This is so cool!
Thanks for sharing.
You should write up how you did this, and why, for the TeachEng.Us (http://teacheng.us/) site, which is overseen by Ben Davis. He is always looking for content and writers from the NWP sphere of things.
(his contact is on the author’s page or just email me)
