Sandy Lagitupu has been the EHSAS lead teacher for the senior school since the beginning and has continued the KPE podcasting project with her students - both her own class and across the team. This project has been going since 2005 and was the prototype for the other projects in the cluster. So the first podcasters with KPE are now in Year 10 and some of them are involved with the Tamaki College EHSAS project! Click here to find out more about how the KPE literacy cycle was first developed.
Project Workflow:
Listen to a couple of podcasts as a class or group. Ask questions relating to the podcast e.g. what was it about? Reflect on the quality and clarity of the speakers – did they use good expression?
Select a short story written by a NZ author. Read to the class. Discuss characters, plot, setting, theme. What was the story about? What was the kiwiana aspect? Record notes summarising the key parts of the story.
Script: Help create a script. Look at the KPE template. The script needs to flow like a conversation that children would be able to follow.
Practice: You could choose only 2 children to practise or have each child partner up with someone to practise the script.
Recording: Children could record their script on garageband or in the podcasting room.
Publish: If the script is good enough for publishing, it will be uploaded to KPE.
Listen to podcast on KPE.
Reflection: Was this a good podcast? Why?
Blogging: leave a comment on KPE. Teacher is to check before posting comment
