VoiceThread by Amal and Erika

Here is a great sample of a VoiceThread created by Amal and Erika for their racism project.  Students are currently working on a 15-image timeline of the history of flight, and they will also be using this technology to share poetry!

Metaphorical Fun!

I thought you might enjoy some of the similes and metaphors students came up with yesterday:

-Family is like glue; they always stick together.
-Life is a song.
-My brother is as annoying as a mosquito.
-I'll be quiet as a zucchini!
-Family is a snowflake; they're one of a kind.
-Friends are like onions.  Sometimes you just have to peel them back a layer at a time.
-Life is like a rose.  If cared for, it can blossom into something beautiful.
-Dance is a prayer.
-Life is a game- you don't know what's happening on your next turn.
-Friends are robbers: they'll hurt you, steal from you, and maybe scare you, but you'll still remember them.
-Friends are like the sisters we actually like.
-Photography is poetry via images.

Not bad for day one, hey?! Great job, Grade 6!
