This is what Mr.Rivers put on classroom: Use today to LISTEN to a podcast and examine where we see those goals! Some of you may already listen to podcasts in your free time, and so you may pursue one that you've listened to before. Those who are looking for something new should consider how a quick Google search might put you in the direction of a podcast that fits your interest. Listening on your phone? Check out the podcasts app on iPhone or Google Play. Listening online? Places like www.stitcher.com allow you to stream your podcasts from the computer as well!
A few notes:
A) Today's podcast doesn't need to be about FILM! The goal here is to examine those skills/goals that we looked at yesterday
B) You should focus on listening to your podcast (and searching for those skills), but don't feel like you need to stare at the audio bar. Some podcasts provide a transcription that you can follow along with, but feel free to doodle or pursue other silent activities (so long as they don't distract you from the listening
That being said, here are the goals we looked at yesterday:
Speaking & Listening Goals
1. Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned exchange of ideas.2. Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decision-making, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed.
3. Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives.
4. Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives; synthesize comments, claims, and evidence made on all sides of an issue; resolve contradictions when possible; and determine what additional information or research is required to deepen the investigation or complete the task.
5. Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.
6. Evaluate a speaker's point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis, and tone used.
7. Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks.
8. Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest
9. Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating a command of formal English when indicated or appropriate. (See grades 11-12 Language standards 1 and 3 here for specific expectations.)
They gave all sorts of critiques and compliments to the movie. What I liked about the podcast is they reviewed the content for what it was, not based on opinion. Of course, they threw some opinion based things in here and there. But, it wasn't overbearing or in the way of the review of the content itself.
Overall, this was mostly to get us associated with podcasts and how they work for when we do our own! It helped us see how to use the skills that we've been taught about, and how to achieve the goals we've talked about. Friday will be the start of our podcast project!
That's all we did today, happy podcasting!
