Mr. Dudash took writing to the next level this week by having his students podcast their work and set it to music. The students in the class were asked to select one piece of recent writing that they were proud for use in their podcast. Next they selected a piece of accompanying music that best fit with their story or theme. Each student then took an evening to practice reading aloud with emphasis and style. The next day they recorded their story into Garage Band, a podcasting program that put all of the components together. I think you will agree, Grade 5 has some GREAT writers!!

We encourage you to listen so some of the podcasts and leave a comment about the ones you liked. The students would really appreciate your opinion.
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a digital media file, which is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers. The term, like “radio“, can refer either to the content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.
