July 1, 2014 Teaching kids and students how to be independent learners is essential for preparing them for the future. Independent learning is a learning that has no boundaries, one in which the learners adapt their time and effort to learn new insights using a wide range of techniques. Some of these techniques are captured in this awesome visual I learned about from Sean Junkins. Have a look and share with us what you think of them. Take the lead Question the questions. Is there another way to look at it. Do your research Take a risk Look for inspiration Make use of existing resources, books, magazines, displays etc Ask a friend Take your time to reflect Sketch it out Have a go Try again Ask for feedback Own your learning Embrace some mistakes Plan ahead Teach the teacher Help, support and advise your peers Online tutorial Follow us on : Twitter, Facebook , Google plus, Pinterest .

This Book Talk Podcast is intended to be completed after students have finished choice reading novels, so perhaps at the end of an independent study, or book clubs. You could use these handouts if your class read a whole-class novel, just make sure that only students that have completed their podcasts do the peer-assessments so that they can’t listen to other’s podcasts and copy them. This project uses the Vocaroo.com and Canva.com sites so your students will need to have access to devices (laptop, ipad, phone, etc.) and the Internet, to facilitate the project. This method of recording (using Vocaroo) is very simple and straightforward. It is a good place to start for beginners. If you have students who are more knowledgable about recording, they can use other sites or apps on their phones they are familiar with. You can either print the handout pages for students, or have them complete the pages on Google Slides. Students will follow the planning pages and example script in the handouts to write their podcast script, rehearse, then record using the Vocaroo site. Then they will use Canva to create a podcast cover image and insert the cover image and the Vocaroo audio file onto a Google Slide that they will hand in. What's included: Teacher's Guide Student Instruction Handout Podcast Planning Pages Example Book Talk Podcast Script (for the Hunger Games) Recording Tips How to Use Vocaroo Recording Site How to Make a Podcast Cover in Canva Podcast Self-Assessment Podcast Peer-Assessment Rubric Podcast Google Slide (hand-in page) **************************************** You might also like… Indirect Characterization One-Pager Activity & Student Handout Lyrical Analysis of Taylor Swift's "Teenage Love Triangle" **************************************** Customer Tips: Be the first to know about my new discounts, sales, and product launches: Look for the green star next to my store logo and click it to become a follower!
