For our podcasts, the students drew upon their knowledge of insects to write entertaining scripts in order to communicate information about these six-legged creatures.  Students worked in small groups to write their scripts.  Features include: Fun Facts, Remarkable Riddles, Catchy Couplets, and Final Features.  After writing their scripts, the children practiced reading their parts using entertaining voices.  They worked with Mrs. Siwinski, our curriculum technology specialist, to record two podcasts.  The children’s enthusiasm for this project is easy to hear and they did a fabulous job!

This activity designed and implemented by Carol Siwinski, Curricular Technology Specialist for Germantown Academy.
