Plans For Today

What I plan on doing for today is trying to find a lesson plan for my story "Where the Wild Things Are". I want to find a good lesson plan that will have the class interested and not want to use those bahaivoral cards. =)

What I got accomplished today:
I was able to find a couple ideas for a good lesson plan. I gathered up a couple of good links, puzzles, and colouring worksheets to help out. I found a lot of useless links as well, they just were not helpful or did not give me any ideas that would help me out. I will keep searching and thinking of good ideas to come up with a great lesson plan for the story "Where the Wild Things Are".

Podcasting Questions For "Where The Wild Things Are"

These are the 5 effective questions that I would use througout the story:

1) Why was Max sent to bed without supper?

2) How do you feel when Max became the king of all wild things?

3) How do you feel when the wild rumpus starts?

4) How do the animals feel when Max tells him he wants to leave?

5) Why do you think Max wants to go home?

Podcasting Thoughts & Opinions

I was able to re-hear my podcast and was able to show a couple of my friends what I have done with my podcast. Today I plan on making improvements to my podcast. One piece of advice that I recieved was basically to make sound effects. They thought that it would make a big difference in the story. Besides that, most people thought that it was really good and that it was well put together. Hopefully today I can do a better job then the previous time.

Wish me luck!!!!

The Outcome of My Podcast

The following link is a link to my podcast story. Please feel free to tell me what you feel needs to be improved with it including, sound affects, if you feel spaces were left, etc. I would like to hear your opinions so that I can improve myself the next time around.

I had a great time recording, but I had to re-record the book twice because the first time I did it did not save. Yikes, I was upset ha. But when I re-recorded it I felt a lot more confident about the second one then the first one, so I guess it was a sign to start over.

Other then having to re-record it I did not have any issues. Everyone just had to be really quiet so that we can all record our story without voices in the background. It all worked out quite well. =)

Pre-Recording Thoughts

My pre-recording thoughts:

Today I am a little excited to record my story because this story really reaches out and teaches kids a lesson. The moral of this story is to not disrespect their mothers and he learns this lesson in a very unique way.

I plan on doing page by page myself and taking it one step at a time. I will try my hardest to use voices and to have as much expression as possible. Wish me luck!!!

What do you know about podcasting?

Honestly, I really do not know anything about podcasting. I just know that you can upload them onto an iPod. Other than that I never pay attention to that option on my iTunes because I never found a reason to use it.

What do you think/want to learn about podcasting?

I would like to learn:
-What it is
-How I can implement this into a lesson
-How to podcast

What do you see as the advantages to podcasting?

The advantages of podcasting are you get to hear how you really sound and hopefully you can have the opportunity to improve any flaws you have such as saying "umm".
