Phonemic chart. Digital storytelling with StoryRobe. StoryRobe is another way for kids to create digital stories using photos or digital copies of their own artwork.
Once they've selected the images they want to use and put them in the right order, they can record the text to go with the images. They can talk for a total of up to 3 minutes, and synchronize the images with what they are saying by tapping the screen as they talk to advance to the next picture. StoryRobe creates a single video file that can then be shared. Unlike StoryKit, there is no option to add text to the finished product, as the model is more video-like than book-like. Language Arts.

Technical English. E-Books. Passive Voice and Active Voice. Passive Voice (Why It is Evil and How to Recognize It.)
Two "voices" occur in English grammar: active voice and passive voice. The difference is subtle at first, but it's easy to master once the grammarian understands the basics. Examine the subject and the main verb in the two sentences below: (A) The boy hit the ball. In sentence A, we might ask ourselves, what does the hitting? In sentence B, we might ask ourselves what is the subject? Note: Sometimes the passive voice sentence is necessary when the speaker wants to hide the agent or obscure what occurs.
In most other cases, it is better rhetoric to use active voice. . (1) Active voice sentences are often more concise than passive voice. The fighter punched Ali and dodged the uppercut. . (2) Passive voice requires more "weak" words.
