3rd Grade 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 then recorded our podcasts and added music using the app PODBEAN

We also learned 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: Solve the Mystery of History (3 Ostendorff) Biography Busters (3 Bros) and Mr. Hessler's Podcast Team (3 Hessler) 

Before recording, students learned 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 SPOTIFY FOR PODCASTERS APP. They recorded themselves and chose music to make the podcast more enjoyable.

Podcasts With 3rd Grade

In 3rd grade students researched people that changed history. Our research process focused more on using a new type of resource (the online encyclopedia) as in second grade students had a lot of experience using books, ebooks, and databases (PebbleGo).

I first taught students what an encyclopedia was, and we did an encyclopedia scavenger hunt. Then students learned how to use the online Encyclopedia Britanica. Students practiced using the online encyclopedia with me to research Nelson Mandela. They also practiced looking up other history makers in the classroom.

The students then got to choose a history maker to research. In library they used the computers to research using the online encyclopedia.

For their final product, students wrote paragraphs about their famous person which they turned into podcasts made in Clips.  Students listened to podcasts and learned the communication skills needed to project their voice and to teach people about their topics.  Classes brainstormed what makes a good podcast and tried to incorporate an introduction and conclusion into their podcast research. Classes made titles to fit their class podcast. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot!
