More Character Analysis Vokis

Here are the second round of vokis from Tuck Everlasting!  Can you guess who these characters are?

Character Analysis from Tuck Everlasting

This week, each student selected a main character from Tuck Everlasting to do a character analysis on.  Using a graphic organizer, the students located evidence of their chosen character's appearance, actions, feelings, and dialogue from the text to form a more complete picture of the character's personality.  Then, at the computer lab today, we created Vokis for the characters using a Voki Classroom account.  Here are some of the first Vokis we created.  For those of our followers who are reading Tuck along with us, can you guess the character from the visual depiction and quote?

Connecting with Skype!

This week our class connected with two other classrooms via video conferencing with Skype! On Wednesday, we connected with Mrs. Cunningham's 3-7th graders in Colorado. We checked out their blogs, and left them comments. We introduced ourselves and talked about the difference in weather! Next, we talked with Mrs. Huebner's 5th grade class located in a rural community in Iowa. Most of the students there live on farms with cows, pigs, and chickens. We could see fields of corn outside their classroom window! So now, we just love corn and cows! We are pretty popular too because we live so close to Disneyland!  Both classes we Skyped with are reading Tuck Everlasting along with us and about 1000 other students from all over the world! Here are some pictures from the call to Colorado.

Here, we are checking out their blog before we met them!

This is when we first connected with them.

Can you tell we had a great time?
