It could be one that the teacher has created about a book or one that is already available. Students will then be instructed to select a book to read. When students finish reading a book they will create a Podcast to share a review of the book with their listeners. Students will go through the process of creating a script, planning out music, special effects, or even a special guest speaker. Once students plan and write their script they will use podcast recording materials (iPad, microphone, Chromebook, Anchor App, etc.) to record and publish the podcast. Students will be able to listen to each other's podcast and leave reviews. |
