I’ve spent the past week writing the unit that I will be using with my seniors come May. In addition to a slew of hefty reading materials, my unit revolves around getting my students to use a set of digital recorders I’ve acquired. My students will be creating audio documentaries about an experience in their lives. By the beginning of June, there should be 70+ podcasts available somewhere for the world to hear (stay tuned for proper linkage!).

I needed to create a sample podcast for my students to hear and dutifully made a six and a half minute shoddy opus about my first day at Manual Arts. It gets a little rant-y in the middle and obviously the sound quality isn’t pristine, but maybe you’d like to hear it, eh? Everbody now, right click here: 1st Day at Manual Arts

This American Life, here I come!
