This is my first voicethread, which I hope you will find helpful.
It consists of two parts: part 1 – the image, and part 2 – the text, with my added video comment for both parts. You can click on the small “windows” to get from one part to the other.
You can get a Voicethread account for free and comment in writing, in a voice comment, or a video comment. You may also doodle on the image and point out certain functions in the sentence that you would like to have elaborated further. This could be the start of interesting class discussions. Let me know what you think of this Voicethread tool.
OOPS! In the video I talk about the “song” while I am actually talking about the “illustration of the song”, which, of course, is something entirely different and the information about the illustrator somehow went missing too.
The illustration was done by Tomi Ungerer, an illustrator from Alsace, best known for his erotic and political illustrations and -what a combination- children’s books.This illustration was featured in “Das goße Liederbuch“. You can visit his official website here.
Warnung: Bitte bekommen Sie keinen Herzinfarkt! Ich verliere nur ungern Studenten. Machen Sie sich auf ein lautes Geräusch im zweiten Teil gefasst. Finden Sie heraus was das ist.
