There are so many Web 2.0 tools that will encourage your students to
research and write by giving them a creative way to share this writing.
The most recent tool I have discovered is called Blabberize.  On this site
(www.blabberize.com), you can upload a photograph to the site, add a mouth
to the picture, and record text so that the picture moves its mouth to the
words.  It's hard to describe, so take a look at these two samples:

of their animal share facts about itself?  Can you imagine a student
sharing their famous American facts by having a photograph of the famous
person telling information about him or herself?  The possibilities are
endless!
