As part of the Voices of the World project run by Sharon Tonner in Scotland, we have to complete a different task every month that focuses on using the kids voices. This month I got Grade 2/3 to lend me their voices to say numbers in English and Chinese. Here is the result:

I got all the kids to write a number and decorate it. I then took photos of their fabulous artwork. While they were working, I took my iPod with it’s voice recorder attached around the room and got each student to say a number in English or Chinese. I put it all together in Photostory 3, which is a free download from the internet. I had to adjust the timing of the images so that it matched up with the audio which took a bit of fiddling, but that was all.
To see numbers presentations from other classes around the world, go to the Voices of the World wiki and click on February’s Task.
What an inspired project this is. I love hearing the kids voices and their artwork is just magnificent Jess.
Hi Jess, this sounded great. Such a simple concept taken to a great effect. Well done. Nicole
