Patrick Vernon - Podcasting a Country Report


In sixth grade social studies, we study South America and Europe. In this project, students will design a newscast for our Western 6 News show. The topic of the newscast is designed to be an overview of a selected South American country. The newscast can be accessed by a web site that has a feed to which individuals can subscribe. The web site contains the North Carolina Standard Course of Study objectives for the unit along with task lists for teachers and students.

Files that you can view from this unit:
The graphic organizer for planning the newscast
The podcast episode example on the Western 6 News blog page
The detailed lesson plan with student directions
The peer evaluation rubric for student use
The presentation templates are in a folder
The Jeopardy-styled game template (with Brazil added as an example)
The reflection for the MED 523 class









If you require the transcript to this audio, it is available here.

Pod on!
