Podcasting

      I love the site BBC World News for Children website which updates children on world news through podcasts. This website breaks up the podcasts into age ranges for each student and also offers many free podcasts to students. My favorite podcast so far is Learn Out Loud which has free speeches of the Great Speeches in History. This podcast is of key speeches in history like King Georges speech which a movie was just created after, the Gettysburg address, and Obama's 2004 speech. This allows students to become part of events which happened years ago.

Great Speeches in History sounds like a great way to combine language learning with content. However, for our mod 12 you need to choose one specific speech and tell how you would incorporate it into a lesson.
