Voice+Thread+Instructions

Voice Threads is a free program that you will use to create a Character Sketch. In this project you will retell five chapters from the book. You will be using a script that you've written from the perspective of a character that you've chosen. Once again we will use Flickr to find images for each of your slides. This project will help you to create a much deeper understanding of the text.

Here is what is to be included in your VoiceThread.

There will be seven Slides - - Slide #1 is the Title Slide Slides #2 through #6 will be Narration Slides Slide #7 will be the Credits Slide

This slide will include an image of your book and a recording of your voice telling us YOUR NAME, the TITLE of the book, the AUTHOR, which CHARACTER you are speaking as, and which chapters you will be narrating.
 * SLIDE DESCRIPTIONS:**
 * Title Slide**

These 6 slides will include an IMAGE that you feel represents each of the chapters you've choosen and a retelling of the events from your chosen chapters IN YOUR OWN WORDS from the point of view of your chosen character.
