New York State ELA Standard 3.1
Listening and reading to analyze and evaluate experiences, ideas, information, and issues requires using evaluative criteria from a variety of perspectives and recognizing the difference in evaluations based on different sets of criteria.
Specific Objectives:
Students will summarize a chapter in the book “Woodsong”. Students will create a podcast to keep ‘spectators’ (readers) informed. Students will learn evaluate their own and others’ work based on a variety of criteria
Required Materials:
Book: “Woodsong” by Gary Paulsen Computer Podcasting software Pencil and Paper (for draft of speech) Step-By-Step Procedures:
--Students would have just finished reading the book “Woodsong” by Gary Paulsen, and will already have learned how to podcast. --Students will get in partners. --Students will choose two race days (chapters) from the book. (days 1-17) --The partner groups will then create a “radio” type broadcast on paper of that day using information from the chapter. This should be as if they were commentators during that race day, and they are keeping spectators informed. They may include jingles, or music at the beginning or end of the podcast but it is up to them to bring it in. They must have at least 3 paragraphs using supporting details from the book. --The teacher will then review their write-up and if needed, students will make changes to their script. --Students will practice their script with their partner at least two times. --Students will then record their podcast. --Once all podcasts are complete, they will be compiled in order. As a class we will listen to the entire race, and complete rubrics. --Each group will grade the other groups using a teacher created rubric --The rubrics will be combined with the teacher rubrics for a final grade.
Assessment Based On Objectives:
-Student assessment will be based on their peers rubrics and the teacher grade.
Adaptations (For Students With Learning Disabilities):
-This lesson is created for a 15:1 self-contained special education classroom. The podcasts can be as short as 3 paragraphs, therefore those who have difficulty summarizing, writing, or putting thoughts on paper, can work on their writing skills without feeling frustrated. No other adaptations are needed.
