Scroll down until you see Voicethread Project #2 for Chapter 2:   http://blogs.berkshirecc.edu/languages/clases-de-espanol-en-bcc/spa101-f11/sp-101-voicethreads-fall-2011/

Want to see how other SPA 101 students have done on this assignment?  Check out the Voicethread for Chapter 2 that last year’s SPA 101 students created at: http://blogs.berkshirecc.edu/languages/2010/10/13/spa-102-voicethread-project-2/

Did you know you can record your voicethread directly from that Voicethread page for SPA 101, right on the blog?  Click on “Comment” to make your recording choices (audio or video recording) appear.

Let Profe know how you’re doing… If you have not already had your voicethread script corrected, send your script to Profe as soon as possible, and she will provide you with corrections.  Learn your corrected script and record it onto this voicethread page.

Remember:  No reading your script!  You can refer to a list of palabras claves (key words) to help you remember what you wanted to say…

Profe will be randomly calling on students in class to reproduce some or all of their script in class… So, please DO memorize your scripts!  😎

Remember, too:  You can record your voicethread as many times as you wish…until you are satisfied with your recording.  Recording and re-recording is terrific practice, as well!  And, recording multiple times will help your remember your script!

Keep in touch; ask for help if you need it!

Profe      😎
