1. Students gathered in their podcast groups to solidify the statement they were trying to make about their motif. Here is an example Mr. Michel made.
2. Then, students all divided up roles in their group and began filling out their prep sheets. Here are the different prep sheets (each student must complete 1):
- The Host
- Sound Effects — a few helpful sound sites: Free Music Archive, SoundSnap
- Primary Source Reading
- Interview
- Dramatic Reading
3. Students then learned how to use Hokusai, a free iPhone app that one student will use to record the podcast. Here is a tutorial: Hokusai Tutorial. Or, if you prefer, you can use the Garageband Tutorial.
HW: Read through the end of Chapter 29 for tomorrow.
