Technology: We will be using Voice Thread as a technology tool to present both sides of an argument. Our Voice Thread is a collaborative project with 5th grade students at Cherry Creek School. When the Voice Thread is completed, your work should be evaluated by answering these questions:
Does our Voice Thread showcase a balance of both sides of an argument?
How does our Voice Thread score as a reliable resource? (Use the same tool you used to evaluate resources used in your research.)
