ECDC Service Project Voice Thread

On Wednesday morning in the ECDC, my group (animal 7, Maritza and Xavier) had very little work left to do in order to complete our project. They had already expressed an interest in the life cycle of the cicada so we thought that it would be a great idea to use our inquiry skills in this situation and ask HOW they grow up into such ugly insects. We had already gathered all of the pictures and written out our script for the voice thread so all we had to do was record it. This surprisingly went off without a hitch! The three of us went into the hallway with a laptop and a microphone and recorded our voices within 30 minutes. Maritza and Xavier were so excited to hear their voices on their very own blog and see their pictures up there as well.

Along with completing my work with the ECDC students, I have also gotten in touch with my online correspondent, Ashlyn, and asked her to comment on both the students' voice thread and blog. Once she does this, the students will be able to see that other people appreciate their hard work and it will be exciting for them to hear the comments of people they have never even met.

Although this project got off to a slow start, working with Ms Reynolds' class was extremely successful. We all worked hard and got the work done, no matter how many setbacks we had (such as lack of computers).

Here is the voice thread that I created with group 7 about the life cycle of the cicada:
