Non-Fiction Research Voice Thread



Our Non-Fiction Project Voice Thread
Our Non- Fiction Research Project!

We worked on non-fiction books and made note cards to help get our thoughts organized. We then created a small book on our project, complete with table of contents and a glossary. We are going to share a brief summary of our non-fiction book.

We created a Voice Thread of our project. Hope you like it!

The URL to the Voice Thread is: voicethread.com/share/1741539/
