Butterfly Day in first grade. Here's the oral language project I designed: Wearing my butterfly sweater (a la Ms. Frizzle), I helped teams of students brainstorm, write and record butterfly "talk." They practiced and polished their lines while I wrestled with the technology demons. My goal was to publish the short blurbs on Blabberize, so that a "talking" butterfly would deliver their speeches. Alas, I could not get the bugs to blab - so we recorded them on Garageband, instead. We didn't get the cute butterfly pictures, but hearing their own voices still had a magical effect on the students.
