save the pictures URL for reference.

Where they are from favorite food one favorite holiday

2. Using the LCD projector, the teacher will demonstrate how to create avoicethread. Students will follow instructions and at the same time will

create their own voicethread using the pictures saved before. In this cas

it wil be a simple voicethread where they introduce themselves in

Spanish. The computer-lab teacher will provide support to the students

the process while the Spanish teacher gives instructions.

3. After students are done, teacher will discuss with students the Dos andDonts of voicethread.
