Year 9 Podcasters – Mad About Music
Year 9 Podcasters – Mad About Music
Year 9 Digital Technology students have been working with James Meston, Producer at Arch D Radio, and Michaela Howard-Jones from the Catholic Office for Youth and Young Adults. Students have been involved in every facet of the production of a professional podcast and FM radio show.
Throughout the program students learn what a podcast is and how it is different from other media types. They develop a run sheet to identify subtopics before writing questions. Questions vary from ice breakers, one thing questions, tell me a story questions and reflective questions. They also learn about what makes a good story which include making sure you include details, include moments of reflection, make sure your stories are sequenced and dialogue needs to be included. Then they write a blurb, create an art piece, and then publish their podcasts via Spotify!
It is great to see students’ collaborative skills and speaking confidence develop throughout this program.
