Today in class we went over the podcasts that we created yesterday in class. Yesterday you and your group created their own podcast talking about the book Ready Player One and the film Wall-E. The goal of the podcast was to have a discussion with your group members about the film and book for around 10 minutes. You could either use your smart phone or a website called http://vocaroo.com to record your podcast.

 

The goal of today was to listen to you your groups podcast. You had about 10 minutes to listen to your podcast, that was plenty enough of time since all the podcasts did not go over 10 minutes. You could either listen to the podcast by yourself or with you group. A lot of people just listened to it by themselves because it was easier to hear. After listening to your podcast, you had to discuss it with you group. You and your group had to talk about the different qualities of the podcast and then some improvements that would have to be made on the next one. After discussing that Mr. Rivers had a class discussion with everyone about overall qualities and improvements. On one side of the white board were reasons for improvements, and on the other side of the board were good things about the podcast. Mr. Rivers would call on whoever would want to share their reason to improve and good quality about the podcast. By the end of the class, the board was filled up with improvements and qualities about everyones podcasts. Finally, by the end of class you had to go google classroom and answer the question Mr. Rivers posted. You had to list some qualities about your podcast and some improvements that you would make about your podcast.
