1. Week /Date 2. Article or Reading 3. Source 4. Article is about… 5. Voc./phrases. The summary: "article is about..." doesn't have to be more than 2-3 sentences. A summary just tells the reader about the article, it doesn't include your opinion.

Voice thread: narrating a picture

Voice thread is a tool which allows you to upload pictures and then record your voice. It's really nice to describe pictures you have and share them with others. Try it! You'll have to create an account at: http://voicethread.com

Here's one I did some time ago, you can take a look at it.

Choose a picture that is meaningful for you in some way, and describe it for the class. Then post your link in a message to the blog.
