Hatchet VoiceThread
Mrs. Eddy’s class has just finished their first VoiceThread for the Newbery Honor book, Hatchet. This survival book by Gary Paulsen is perfect for library research. Each student was randomly assigned a research topic that related to the book. They used the World Book Encylcopedia, Searchasaurus, links on the library webpage and Google SafeSearch to find information about their topic. Students learned to ignore irrelevant information and to narrow their focus to what a boy would need to know about their topic to survive in the Canadian wilderness. After typing their scripts in Word they logged into KidPix to create an avatar for their voice narration. Bit by bit in small groups they visited the library office to record their narrations. I hope you enjoy their show. They worked hard at a busy time of the year.
