Track character perspectives and attitudes
- Students note specific reasons and evidence while regarding multiple sides of an issue.
- Rewrite a story from a new perspective using character avatars (a digital representation of a character). Using Voki, students create an avatar and then record themselves speaking as if they were the character, from his perspective, sharing insights and drawing conclusions about various episodes within the text. Check out this link to several student projects. Simply join Voki Classroom and manage multiple classes, create Voki assignments for students, as well as publish.
