Podcasts


Please checkout our AMAZING PODCASTS!

In 3rd grade students researched people that changed history in class. Each class practiced doing research on some history makers-- then students picked a person they were interested in researching.

In library, we learned about podcasts and what makes them enjoyable to listen to. Students spent a week listening to podcasts and brainstormed what they liked about listening. The following week, students learned about the structure of a podcast. They discovered that podcasts usually: 
  • Have a catchy introduction
    • Give the host's same
    • Give the name of the podcast
    • What we are going to talk about today
  • Information about topic
    • Give information about your topic
  • Conclusion
    • Thank the audience
    • Ask audience to join next time
We discovered that podcasts have names that fit the topic and make people want to listen. Each class brainstormed names and then voted for their favorites. I am very excited for you all to listen to:
  • Facts From the Past (3 Ostendorff)
  • The Interesting Truth (3 Bros)
  • Rewind (3 Hessler)

Before recording, students discovered that podcasters need to pay attention to the rate of their voices, their expression and volume. They then practiced reading their scripts.

Lastly, students came to the library to record their podcast using the ANCHOR APP

6th Grade Choice Projects

 In 6th Grade, student are learning about the Civil War. In Social Studies they did research on Absent Narratives from most History Books for this time period with their classroom teacher, Natalie Ramirez. She provided them with resources to learn about people involved in the Civil War that many people don't know about.


Students were then able to choose one of the tech skills we learned this year to present their information. Students shared their learning via Google Slides, Canva, or Google Sites.
