I’m a big fan of how technology can bring student voices forward. Yesterday, I pulled out my voice recorder as my sixth graders were sharing a poem entitled “Inside This …” and asked if anyone wanted to share their poems as a podcast. I got a handful in each class, and the poems were nicely done, and sound wonderful. (The poem uses figurative language techniques to get at the essence of an inanimate object. I allowed one exception for the girl who wrote about a chicken egg. She loves writing about chickens.)
Enjoy the voices!
Peace (in the podcast),
Kevin
I love getting to hear their poems in their voices. (And the snickers are especially authentic!) Thanks for sharing.
So fun! The kids sound like they really enjoyed doing this 🙂
These were great! Interesting to see (hear?) how some of them stuck to surface ideas and kept things light, others got a bit deeper. You can really hear their connections to some of these as they read. (Kinda reminds me that I took your workshop years ago and thought I’d do some podcasting someday… and maybe I will)
A lot of talent in those voices/writers. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for listening and commenting
