11/2

Today's class was a different type of class today. Yesterday during class there was a podcast going on and a large group of people were not in attendance. So at the start of class we went over how the second part of podcast process was going to work. The second part was more of a reflection of the podcast it's self. In the second part of the podcast we are suppose to look at the 8 goals of what a podcast is suppose to do and to create a comment from that. These comments are to talk about how they can improve on their next podcast. These comments aren't suppose to be mean or hurt anyone in any way. These comments are to provide constructive criticism. These comments will also let groups know what they did well in the podcasts. Also another part of the second part of the podcasts, each group will listen to their own podcast and see what they think they can improve on the next time around. Groups should also remember that these podcasts should have questions that are evidence based. These questions should also relate to the film and book. So as the class got to work on the second part of the podcast it was time for me and the rest of the kids who missed the first part to start on that. The groups were mixed between tables since other class members were here yesterday. So as the groups got arranged we were gathering questions to say in the podcast. These questions were to be evidence based and they could also have the option to relate to both the film and book. In my groups podcast we had a very strong conversation about the relationship between Ready Player One and Wall-E. As Mr.Rivers said in the beginning of class it was very hard to end the podcast at around 10 minutes. There was so much to talk about in such a short period of time. I felt that our group did a great job of talking about what is going on in the book.
