Voicethread!

This post was kinda funny. It is interesting how you can make arrows and drawings on your voicethread, like if you needed to point something out in the background, or circle it to draw attention. The girl in this thread seems weird. It wasn't very long and had nothing in it, but arrows and a little bit of talking. The purpose was to describe a friendship between her and her friend Al, but it didn't say anything about their friendship except for he has white teeth, she didn't like him in sixth grade, and she has purple lips. This video was a waste of time.

This is my video! It is from Honors English last year. It was my first time using voicethread. It was confusing and hard to understand, but somehow we pulled it together. It talks about Act 1 and Scene 1 of the play Romeo and Juliet. We tried to put a lot of information in our presentation, so people knew exactly what was happening in the story. Also we incorporated vocab words so people have a little more understanding of the language and everyday talking back then. This project shows that we still need to work on voicethread because there is a ton of features we didn't use.

I like this voicethread. It has teachers and students talking, so there is changes in the voices. The pictures are very sad and really show the struggles people endured throughtout the years during the Great Depression. The children are especially sad because they talk about not having anything, enough food, clothes, rain, jobs, and all the other things that came along with the Great Depression. The pictures really opened my eyes to the way people lived. They had nothing and today we take a lot for granted. I like this project and I think the kids did a really good job. The voicethread also has a lot of information, or poems that deal with the time period, so you can actually image what was happening during the Great Depression. The teachers did a really good job with this project!
