A few tips to use voicethread

To be an active Voicethreader, start by carefully working your way through a presentation. While viewing pictures and listening to the comments that have been added by other users, you should:

Gather Facts: Jot down things that are interesting and new to you
Make Connections: Relate and compare things you are viewing and hearing to things that you already know.
Ask Questions: What about the comments and presentation is confusing to you? What don’t you understand? How will you find the answer? Remember that there will ALWAYS be questions in an active thinker’s mind!
Give Opinions: Make judgments about what you are viewing and hearing. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Like? Dislike? Do you support or oppose anything that you have heard or seen? Why?
Use the following sentence starters to shape your thoughts and comments while viewing or participating in Voicethread presentations. Comments based on these kinds of statements make Voicethreads interactive and engaging.

Chers parents, chers élèves,
une veille de vacances bien atypique aujourd'hui. De nombreux élèves étaient absents et nous n’avons pas eu le joyeux enthousiasme habituel.

Vous comprendrez sans doute que ce blog ne peut rendre compte que de mes cours en ce qui concerne notre travail de classe en anglais.

Pour l'instant, nous devons nous replier sur la solution la plus simple:

- Vous pouvez venir consulter les cahiers de texte au collège. Le Collège sera ouvert cet aprés-midi bien sur de même que lundi 26 et mardi 27 octobre. Le collège sera fermé ensuite jusqu'à la rentrée du 05/11/2009.

Je souhaite aux élèves malades et bien portants de bonnes vacances.

How to give rice to hungry people

We all know that some people die of hunger everyday, if you want to help them play on this website .

Click on the subjects link near the top right of the page to see a list of all subjects available at FreeRice.

There is vocabulary, math, science, geography, art history, other languages and more.

The rice is paid for by the sponsors whose names you see on the bottom of your screen when you enter a correct answer. These sponsors support both learning (free education for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry).

The United Nations World Food Programme distributes all of the rice that you donate to help fight hunger.

THANK YOU for your help.
