TheVoiceThread "What Could it Be? is a global collaboration project between teachers around the world to contribute one image from their country depicting a unique tradition, typical custom, distinctive perspectives, routines, habits and practices.
I am looking for an image that will start a conversation in your own class and raise awareness that "others" might not see the same thing or understand its meaning the way we do in our own country.
The point of the VoiceThread is for the students to come up with their own interpretation of what the image could mean. Adding all the voices together will show that the same image has multiple points of view, depending on your background.
It is important for our students to think about possible interpretation and it can be discussed how misunderstandings and misinterpretations could and do happen when two or more people are looking at the same scenario.
Comments are open for anyone to participate. Please consider having your students go through the pictures and comment what they think it could mean.
We have images from the following countries so far:
* United States
* Argentina
* Germany
* Israel
* China
* Egypt
* New Zealand
* Sweden
* Brazil
Please pass this Global Awareness project along and encourage others to participate as well.
The key for the images posted so far can be found here.
