Podcast+Examples

Podcast Examples:

Government and Citizenship Unit Grade: 5

Teacher Freedom Example: media type="file" key="Lee Greenwood - Proud To Be An American - God Bless The Usa.mp3" In my model freedom podcast example, I wrote and read aloud a short essay on what Freedom Means to Me. I tried to cover many of the topics covered under the Bill of Rights and Citizenship topics that we covered in class.

Student Freedom Podcast: media type="file" key="student freedom podcast.mp3" The kids really enjoyed creating our "What freedom means to me..." Podcast. After I played my example, I asked for students to work individually or within small groups to draft up anywhere from a line to a brief paragraph of what freedom meant to them. I then reacorded each group and pieced them together with the background song of "Proud to Be an American" by Lee Greenwood. I was impressed by how quickly it came together and how much of the content covered in class was integrated into their responses. It was also great timing with the Memorial Day holiday.
