Vocabulary Podcasts

Wouldn't podcasting bring new enthusiasm to vocabulary lessons?

Let's see if we can't reinforce required vocabulary in a fun, engaging manner.

The idea is based on Sesame Street's podcast "What's the Word on the Street" which you can view here: http://www.sesamestreet.org/podcasts/

To do this with a class, assign 1-3 words per child.
Have students find the definition, write a descriptive sentence, and find the pronunciation, and use the word in context.
Next the student finds an image from either the real world, internet, draw one, or photograph it.

Finally the student uses Garage Band (or some alternative) to create a podcast.
Then share with the class and the world!
