Voice Thread

Voice Thread could be used in subjects such as, Drama and Dance. However as a future English teacher I would use it regularly. Simply select a piece of music and give the students 3 items they must include in their narrative. They will learn how to put their feelings into words and align them to a topic or a subject.

Sit down in my classroom for a moment, listen to the piece of music I have selected (unfortunately it kept coming up with an error message, that's technology for you). Recall the feelings you felt during the music and use it in a narrative. Your story must include a ball, a person and a tree, it must be 600 words long.

This will be your first draft. We will work on proof reading and producing a final draft. You will also focus on grammar, spelling, punction, paragraph structure and yes the list goes on and on. All of this from a simple piece of music.

Or you could combine the music with a power point presentation of the story you have just written.

Creative, learning.

What more could a teacher ask for?
