Making Global Connections Through VoiceThread

VoiceThread is a great tool for connecting to people from all over the world by taking part in discussion on a particular piece of work or on a chosen topic. Using an unknown picture to descriptively respond to allows a writer to reveal a creative side, for not everyone has the same interpretation.

First, study the picture. What do you see, think, and wonder? Imagine yourself in the picture. How does it make you feel? What mood does it create?

Make some connection to what you see. Use figurative language to help you express your ideas.

Listen closely as students respond in different ways to the displayed snap shot, and compare it to how you interpreted this piece of work.





If you could give this picture a title, what would it be?
