Personal Technology Project Proposal

The standard I wish to work on is from the 8th Grade Utah Core: 
Standard 1 (Reading): Students will use vocabulary development and an understanding of text elements and structures to comprehend literary and informational grade level text" for 8th grade
Objective 3 (Comprehension of Literary Text): Comprehend literature using elements of narrative and poetic text.  
b. Describe a character’s traits as revealed by the character’s thoughts, words, speech patterns, and actions. 

This wil be accomplished partly by audio books and partly by student readings. For my personal technology project, I will have the students listen to an audio version of a text, and then have the students record several versions of the text, in order to show how different narration can change the meaning of the text. The students will upload their examples as one video to youtube, in order to easily contrast them. Depending on the length of the selection these videos can be from 5-8 minutes long. 

This project entails not only listening to an audiobook, but recording your own performances of the text, mixing those performances into one video, and uploading that video on youtube.
