Brainstorming Session
KWL chart (verbal contribution)
(Snelling, 2018)

Dotstorming
https://dotstorming.com/

# data[].attributes.body
With the KWL chart displayed in the classroom, the teacher will guide the students in verbally contributing the K (knowledge) as a group and writing their responses in the column in a non-judgmental brainstorming activity.  This encourages connection to the subject matter, relaxed expression in the classroom, collaboration of ideas, and relationship building within the group.

Dotstorming Tool:
Dotstorming is a tool that allows for students to voice their opinion on a subject and vote on the most relevant in a method that does not require verbal participation.  This encourages high participation and initial collaboration that will allow for a group consensus on a topic.  It is interactive and students are able to agree (vote) for more than one contribution.  They can also provide feedback in the same method which helps with collaboration (Think Inclusive, 2015)

Following the reading of the novel, the Giver, the students in the class will use the digital tool Dotstorming to create an alternate ending for the novel. This activity requires background knowledge of the characters and their ability to function in the new ending. Students will be given the opportunity to vote on a teacher-prompted group collaborative activity. Students will vote on their choice of endings for 3 different characters. The teacher will collaborate these and then assign the students the prompt to create a written ending as a graded assignment.

Personal Learning Plan Portfolio
(Continuum of Voice, 2016)

SeeSaw (Digital Portfolio)
https://web.seesaw.me/

# data[].attributes.body
The learning preference survey allows for a non-verbal method of contribution for the student, without the fear that their contribution will be wrong or dismissed.  The teacher's collaboration with the student using the information is the opportunity for the student to be the expert in their own preferences.  The teacher becomes the learner.

SeeSaw: SeeSaw is a digital tool that is an electronic portfolio that allows the student to share what they are learning, interact with others (teachers, parents, other students) and contribute to others ideas or collaborate on projects. The students are able to use their own voices, videos, written assignments, share documents or projects in order to add their digital voice in the subject area. This provides the opportunity to add their own personal touch to the content and design their portfolio to their liking.

# data[].attributes.body
The students will be assigned to a class in the SeeSaw website, under the RISE 1 class.  The assignment is located under the Activities section.
The students have been given the opportunity to be assigned a career during the Ceremony of Twelves. They will fill out an attached questionnaire as well as submit a journal entry after they are assigned. Both written and verbal instructions are provided in the activity section of the webpage.

Group Assignment
Brainstorm session
(Snelling, 2018)

Scrumblr
http://scrumblr.ca/

# data[].attributes.body
The group assignment or project will encourage ownership in the assignment and more likely to contribute their student voice to the process.  Brainstorming, whether it is during the project process or on its own, has the same effect.  It provides the opportunity for group collaboration and a judgement-free opportunity for voicing their thoughts.

Scrumblr:
Scrumblr is a digital whiteboard that allows for collaboration on various subjects. The teacher can create the whiteboard with the choices that the student can add too or allow for a student-created whiteboard. The students then add their contribution to the appropriate column in order to add to the project. Once again, this can be a great way to collaborate and increase the opportunity to add their voice without speaking in class or in front of others. This promotes more engagement of student voice.

# data[].attributes.body
The students will be assigned the collaborative project of comparing and contrasting two societies: the Utopian society of the Giver and our society. Each group of students will be given a category to research and contribute to the group Scrumblr. Each individual student is responsible for their category and must decide on relevant information to provide for the prompt in their assigned category. Students can then collaborate and provide feedback to the other members of the group as they will be able to visually see the others contributions.

Student Debate
(Snelling, 2018)

Socrative
https://socrative.com/

# data[].attributes.body
The use of a debate within the classroom allows for each student to formulate an opinion and discuss their rationale for their stance.  It also allows for the student to utilize their voice of persuasion to have others see their point of view.

Socrative:
Socrative is a digital tool that allows for a variety of options for student participation virtually (quizzes, online discussions, projects) but also allows for students to debate topics by either posing a topic themselves or responding to the teacher's prompt. The instant access to feedback from others makes it ideal for students to understand other's perspectives and possibly change their viewpoint or contribute to the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
The students will begin to provide background for a debate of whether a child should be released that is not thriving. The students will provide their decision along with multiple reasons. This will be used to give them more to say during a class debate and give them more confidence in their answers. Socrative provides the opportunity for a class vote as well during this debate.

Student-Led Conference
(Snelling, 2018)

Google Hangouts
https://hangouts.google.com/

# data[].attributes.body
The use of a student-led conference is a highly-advanced strategy of utilizing student voice.  The student must have confidence in their ability to speak for themselves regarding their progress, especially in front of adults.  This can be a challenge as many children are used to their parents and other adults making the decisions for them.  This provides them the opportunity to have ownership of their own path.

Google Hangouts:
Google Hangouts is a digital tool that allows students to collaborate verbally and through messaging. The student is able to present information virtually and collaborate with others. To work within the goal, the students are able to lead the progress meeting on their academic progress especially with their parents or others that are not able to be present for the actual meeting.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will use Google Hangouts (their own account) to connect to the people that are involved in their educational process. During this meeting, the students will discuss progress as well as ask any questions they have to their teachers and parents in reference to their educational process.
