Several activities were carried out with our Year 4 and Year 5 students. Students were to summarise a book they borrowed from the school library and write a few sentences to encourage someone else to read the same book, hence persuasive writing. They learnt about book characteristics like title, author, illustrator, key words and main characters. Students then recorded their book talk as a podcast by using the EasiSpeak microphones available in schools and created a Word Cloud using Wordle to show as the podcast plays. Both the recording and word cloud were then combined into a PhotoStory to create a book talk podcast.
