Second graders just put the finishing touches on their Egypt Night podcasts. The students worked in teams to create short recordings that invite friends and family to celebrate the learning and hard work in which they were engaged over the winter. The project gave students the opportunity to see what they remembered from a similar project earlier in the year, when students used Garage Band to share highlights of Bill Peet books. It also gave them the opportunity to share some of what they learned in the course of their Ancient Egypt study. The greatest challenge was not to share everything they learned, but in the style of an advertisement, only to share a small amount. Creating the podcasts also allowed for conversation around media, advertising and a reminder that all media is created for a purpose.
Below are the second grade podcasts. Enjoy!
