3rd Grade Animals Podcasts

AmazingAnimalsIn third grade today at Holladay Elementary we made “Amazing Animals” podcasts (SOL 3.4). I gave them a folder of pictures to use to show hibernation, migration, camouflage, and mimicry. Then I showed them how to add the photos to the podcast track, record their voices on the vocals track, and find a song for the jingles track. We only had time to do the first topic, hibernation, but they will continue the project on their own and at a later date I will post some of the finished podcasts. You can see my sample here and student samples here and here (the second one I included because I thought it was funny!) Remember they are small videos because they are for playing on iPods. You can download the entire lesson with the photos, a template for dragging into student folders, and the sample here.
