After reading the main selection, students selected an animal to use in creating their interactive image with ThingLink. They used the camera to create a video of themselves reading the key details, then used Photosforclass.com to find an image of their animal to upload, and typed their key details into ThingLink. The video they created earlier was then added as well.

Reading Fluency Practice | Google Docs & Voice Recording
After listening to an audio clip of a story, students practiced the target skills of intonation and accuracy. Students used Vocaroo to record themselves reading a poem and then pasted the link to this recording into a shared Google Document. Afterwards, they listened to a partner's recording and left feedback. The following focus questions were posted for consideration when listening to give feedback: Did they pause at punctuation? Stress important words? Read at a good rate? Were they accurate?

Vocabulary | Google Docs & Voice Recording
Students accessed a Google Document that provided the top three vocabulary words - the "Big Dogs" and a student-friendly definition. Using the sentence frame that the teacher provided in the document, they created a "7-Up" sentence, recorded themselves reading the sentence in Vocaroo, and add the link to their recording to the document.
