Mr. Colby Sharp's lucky fourth graders Skyped with voice actor Mark Turetsky about audiobooks. They were kind enough to finish my sentence starters about this memorable virtual experience.
I wrote the words in red, and Mr. Sharp's kids wrote the words in black. Thank you, 4-Sharp!
*We prepared for Mark Turetsky's Skype visit by...
- writing out our questions and reading them out loud to make sure they made sense.
-writing an introduction, conclusion, and questions.
-assigning groups and writing introductions, questions, and completing a project.
-writing letters.
*Mark Turetsky told us...
- that before he reads for an audiobook that he reads the book a few times.
-it is OK to make mistakes. If you make a mistake, just go with the flow.
-to READ, READ, READ, and READ.
-it is best to read the book you're about to record a bunch of times.
-not to rush.
-that we should read the words with expression and fluency to make the reader enjoy listening to the book. He told us not to read like a robot. A reader will not enjoy listening to a robotic voice.
-to use our hands to say the words.
-to read, write, and learn.
-some ways to read when you are stuck on a word.
-to speak loudly and clearly.
*The Origami Yoda audiobooks...
-are wonderful.
-are very good books. I listened to them when I was in third grade.
-are fun, active, encouraging, and interesting.
*Audiobooks are...
-fun.
-great to listen to while you're driving and walking around town.
-books you listen to on audio.
-books that you read in a speaker and it goes in a little cube.
-very convenient for people on the go because you can listen to books while driving, at a sibling's game, on a break at a tournament, or while you are waiting in line at the store.
-really good and fun.

-that we Skyped with Mark.
-that Mark Turetsky is a nice guy.
-how I became a more expressive reader after Mark's visit.
-that we Skyped with him.

*Mr. Sharp always encourages us...
-with our writing and gives us lots and lots of great opportunities to make our writing better.
-to read, to write, and to do the best we can do and the best we can be.
-to read all books.
-to be good readers when we grow up.
-to read and to try our best.
-to write the best we can.
-not to read for prizes, but to read for fun.
