Voice Thread follow-ups

Working in groups you recently posted an activity to VoiceThread. Now, choose an activity posted by a different group that addresses a communication mode that you would like to give more attention to with your students. In your blog, identify which group’s activity you chose. Briefly describe the activity with any changes you would make to fit your goals and classroom environment. Include any assessment challenges this activity presents in a distance classroom, and how you would adapt for that so that you know how well all students are doing regardless of their location.

I went to look at the voice thread activities from the other groups and I found that only one group that was not in the interpretive area had posted-  this was group #6 that did the comparative TV program idea for interpersonal activities. On the other hand, group #6 had a task that was partially interpretive--listening to a message from the teacher telling them that class would be outside and then checking the weather for a certain location--but then the group followed up with a (presentational) response to the teacher that had to demonstrate the students' understanding of both the teacher's message and the weather report AND demonstrate a negotiation of several levels of vocabulary and message-giving to accept or reject --with reasons--the teacher's invitation.  

This seemed like a lot for one activity--I think I might have to break it down into smaller steps to make sure that students understood what was expected, but I really liked the idea as a summative assessment at the end of a unit!
