Podcasts

For my podcast, I would choose to do a reading unit in first grade. Towards the middle to end of first grade, there's a really big push for reading, and for students to start to be able to read on their own. I would read a few different books into a podcast and then give the students the option of which book they wanted to read. I'd have copies of the books in the classroom so that the students could be listening and reading at the same time. I think this would be an excellent activity because they would be able to listen and read at the same time. After they had done this activity, I'd give them a chance to record their own podcast of the book they had just read, or a different book of their choice. I think this would be a really fun activity for the students, because it'd be different than just reading a book. It'd be fun for them to record it and then get to listen to their own voice coming out of the computer.
