I will be attempting Voice Thread with my third grade class .Previously the class worked on a project designed to promote the development of critical thinking skills when reading. The students were each assigned a fable to read. They were required to look up any unfamiliar vocabulary words the interfered with meaning. After reading, they were asked to interpret the meaning of the moral. If they didn’t understand, they were encouraged to discuss their thoughts with their parents. After writing a summary of the fable  and their interpretation of its meaning, they had to make a connection (text to self, text to text, or text to world) by relating how the message of the moral might be applicable to their own experiences. Finally, the students read the fable summary to the class, and asked their classmates to guess the moral, or interpret the author’s meaning. Therefore, the students were exposed to multiple points of view. Initially, children tend to think there must be just one correct response, or point of view. . Over time they come to realize more than one interpretation can apply, but often this misconception prevails. Additionally, this strategy of making connections is always difficult for children to do. Therefore, I thought Voice Thread would enhance the education goals of developing higher –ordered thinking skills, by providing more opportunities for interaction: more opportunities to process many points of view and make many connections. Voice Thread would also promote fluency. The biggest challenge for me understands how to set up student accounts without email addresses. Wish me luck!
