Lesson Ideas

Hi--Voicethread is a great tool to help with story sequence. Do you want your students to learn how to sequence story events through the use of voicethread? If so, let your question reflect that. Hiller

Compelling Question- How can our students learn to sequence events of a story using voice thread?

Resources: Modified special education rubric Grade level Story Graphic Organizer VoiceThread/Computer

Lesson Ideas: Students will read a story- they will be separated into sections- Beginning, Middle, End They will read the story, discuss important events, put the Beginning, Middle, End of the story in a graphic organizer format. Students will draw a picture to match their specific part of the story. They will narrate a description of their picture. The pictures will then be uploaded onto voice thread and their voice will be recorded narrating their part. Students will act as an interviewee and interviewer to incorporate the skills of sequence- Beginning, Middle and End; using words such as first, next, and last.

This will take about 1-2 weeks to complete the whole process- Since our students are in the regular classroom and only come to us for resource for 30-45 minutes a day. 2-3 days will be spent reading the story, then we will discuss, organize our thoughts, discuss the beginning, middle and end, draw our pictures, narrate, and then develop the VoiceThread.

Students will be able to draw, narrate, and then listen to their story and the main events in a story to understand why sequence is important. We will be doing two lessons, one in Brynn's class and one in mine.

We will then share our VoiceThreads so our students can watch and listen to the other story.
