Sixth grade students showcase their vocabulary learning through poetry as relates to Africa and African culture.
- Students complete an illustrated acrostic poem in class.
- Exemplary student poems are chosen.
- Teacher receives written consent from parents to post student work on the Internet.
- Teacher scans student poems into the computer with students.
- Teacher uploads images to VoiceThread with students.
- Students record voice to narrate poems.
The goal of the project was to introduce students to VoiceThread and to excite students about learning vocabulary concerning Africa, as well as the chance to showcase their work in a new and unique way to their peers and family.
The easiest part was recording the student voice narrations. It was also the most fun!
The hardest part was working with my school to unblock the VoiceThread website from the district filter. After that was completed, portions and functions of the website were also blocked, which had to be configured and repaired as well.
Students were very excited to showcase their work and to narrate the VoiceThread. I recommend allowing all students to complete a VoiceThread like this one, but in small groups, around a common theme.
You can have students create illustrated acrostic poems for any set of vocabulary words in any subject! Then, create a VoiceThread and post it to your own teacher website for all students to view and review material. Students love it!
Wanafunzi wa darasa la sita wanaonyesha ujifunzaji wao wa msamiati kupitia mashairi yanayohusiana na Afrika na utamaduni wa Afrika. - Wanafunzi kukamilisha picha acrostic shairi katika darasa. - Mashairi ya wanafunzi wenye mfano huchaguliwa. - Mwalimu anapokea idhini ya maandishi kutoka kwa wazazi kuweka kazi ya mwanafunzi kwenye mtandao. - Mwalimu hupima mashairi ya wanafunzi kwenye kompyuta pamoja na wanafunzi. - Mwalimu uploads picha kwa VoiceThread na wanafunzi. - Wanafunzi kurekodi sauti ya kusimulia mashairi. Lengo la mradi huo lilikuwa kuwajulisha wanafunzi VoiceThread na kuwafurahisha wanafunzi kuhusu kujifunza msamiati kuhusu Afrika, na pia nafasi ya kuonyesha kazi yao kwa njia mpya na ya kipekee kwa wenzao na familia. Sehemu rahisi zaidi ilikuwa kurekodi simulizi za sauti za wanafunzi. Pia ilikuwa yenye kufurahisha zaidi! Sehemu ngumu zaidi ilikuwa kufanya kazi na shule yangu kufuta kizuizi cha tovuti ya VoiceThread kutoka kwa kichujio cha wilaya. Baada ya hapo, sehemu na kazi za tovuti zilizuiliwa, ambazo zililazimika kuundwa na kurekebishwa pia. Wanafunzi walikuwa na msisimko sana kuonyesha kazi yao na kusimulia VoiceThread. Mimi kupendekeza kuruhusu wanafunzi wote kukamilisha VoiceThread kama hii moja, lakini katika makundi madogo, kuzunguka mandhari ya kawaida. Unaweza kuwa na wanafunzi kuunda picha acrostic mashairi kwa ajili ya seti yoyote ya maneno ya msamiati katika somo lolote! Kisha, kuunda VoiceThread na kuchapisha kwenye tovuti yako mwenyewe mwalimu kwa wanafunzi wote kuona na mapitio ya vifaa. Wanafunzi wanaipenda!
