Biographies

=**READING ALOUD ON VOICETHREAD - BIOGRAPHIES**= =This time you are not going to write about celebrities. You are going to READ ALOUD TO the rest of students about one famous person of your choice. In order to do so, you will visit the following site:=

@http://www.famouspeoplelessons.com/
==**There you will find quite a few one-minute biographies on different famous people. Your task will be to choose one and work on it. You can listen to it as many times as you need since the mp3 track is available on the site. Once you have mastered the __pronunciation__, __word stress__ and __intonation__ , you will make your contribution on the VoiceThread below. Try to avoid background noises, keep the right distance to your microphone and speak in a clear voice.** **Read aloud at a normal pace. There is no need to rush. Remember other students will be listening to you. Your reading must be perfect on the three aspects mentioned above. It would be good idea to record and listen to yourselves before commenting on Voicethread to analyze your mistakes and improve your reading. You can do it with** **Audacity**==
