VoiceThread enables us to add our voice, literally, to a collective, creative inquiry into how we see learning, literacy, and literature theories connecting and informing each other and our practice.

Directions:

Wave 1 (Slide 1) requests a Theory Expert Contribution and you will post a summary of how a particular theory may contribute to our framework of learning through literature with young adults. You’ll be invited to share your expertise/experience with a theory based on your completed Funds of Knowledge Inventory. I've tried to present your with a theory that was suggested by your FOKI in some way.

Wave 2 (Slide 2) Theory Synthesis, everyone reviews the VoiceThread and posts a synthesis. This synthesis should be each person’s attempt to compose a single narrative that shows how teaching with these theories supports learning through literature.

Finally, Wave 3 (Slide 3) is an Open Mic. You may share any outlying insight, acknowledge outstanding contributions to your understanding, expand the conversation to what you see as the next logical step, and more. The possibilities are wide open. This is a more informal response -- questions, comments, musings to lead us into our discussion in our LIVE Class.
