2nd Episode

After our first episode we critiqued our podcast and performance. From that we came up with a list of goals to accomplish by the end of the year - ranging from bumper music in the podcast to pictures for our blog. Each student then had to select one personal goal to work on.
This time around has been awesome to watch. The students are all enthusiastically working towards their personal goal. Whether it be focusing on their word choice, using more expression, or speaking clearly these kids are completely active in the process of achieving their goals. From editing their writing to practicing in front of a peer, I've never seen this class so engaged and willing to work together. It's great to see.

Finally Done!!

Wow, podcasts aren't easy. After a lot of work my lit skills class is happy to put out its first podcast. It's a little rough around the edges, but we had a good time doing it. We look forward to it getting easier and more creative with time. Because the process took longer than anticipated, some of the information is out of date. This, as well, we suspect will be smoother for our next time around. Until then, we hope you enjoy the show. The kids would love to hear some of your comments.
