In this project you have a simple goal. Create a podcast with a partner about some recent news that you find fascinating, upload it, create comprehension questions, and allow us to listen to it in class as a listening exercise.
You will be graded on content, language, and pronunciation.
Step 1: Find your partner and agree on some news stories to discuss.
Step 2: Tell me about your topic so I can approve or advise you on your topic.
Step 3: Discuss what you want to talk about with your partner. Create an outline to use to organize your discussion. Note cards, etc.
For example: You find a story about driverless cars and how it is going to change the world. You should summarize the story and BE SURE TO SOURCE IT! (WHERE DID IT COME FROM?) You talk about the main points of the story and then ask your partner a discussion question about the story and discuss your opinion about it, then your partner does the same for you.
Step 4: Record your podcast using the Soundcloud app. It is easy to use and upload the podcast. Keep it under 5 minutes.
Step 5: After recording your podcast create some multiple choice comprehension questions for us to answer when we listen to your podcast in class. Email me a copy of these questions. (andrewnovakefny@gmail.com)
Step 6: Enjoy others podcasts in class and answer some comprehension questions to practice listening. Receive feedback on pronunciation and vocabulary.
