Many thanks to glassbead (Clarence Fischer) for sharing a Tweet with the link to In the Time of Trees, a beautiful photo essay. The topic is a multimodal match for NPRs This I Believe podcasts in terms of providing rich visual + text possibilities for student – and teacher – writers. Besides the slide show format, Voice Thread would be also be an effective format for an “In the time of….” photo essay genre.
