Digital+voice+recorders


 * Ways of using digital microphones to engage pupils ||
 * # Make a talking big book in Smart Notebook with the pupils own voices speaking the parts of the characters. The book can be made by older pupils for younger ones to ‘read'. Alternatively, younger pupils can play the part of characters.
 * 1) Use voice recording in the plenary session. Pupils can record their work orally. It is a great incentive to write.
 * 2) Add sound effects made by the pupils to pictures they have drawn using paint packages.
 * 3) Link speaking into the microphone to learning about speech marks and speech bubbles.
 * 4) Record pupils voices over music to enhance the spoken text e.g. use news style music whilst pupils read text written in a news style; record a poem over music that is befitting the subject of the poem.
 * 5) Create a ‘radio station' either live or recorded.
 * 6) Book reviews.
 * 7) Tell a story using sound and music.
 * 8) Performing play scripts.
 * 9) Give a voice to historical characters - role play.
 * 10) Create propaganda using selected images and voiceover.
 * 11) Local history- recording interviews with parents/grandparents.
 * 12) Role play- recording pupils speaking in another language.
 * 13) Keep an audio diary of work done and changes made during a project. ||
