Westbridge Academy students are making their own news! A group of students and teacher Griffin Charyn are producing a monthly podcast of coming happenings around the school and publishing it for the Westbridge community. Students write the news, read the news, edit audio tracks and music, and produce the entire podcast, from start to finish.
“The students are picking up story ideas and school happenings and making their own decisions about how to present them. In the end they’re owning their instruction, and owning their activities.”
An important part of the instruction involves students listening closely and analyzing other news and media for the presenter’s tone of voice and then learning to modulate and control their own presentation.
Each edition also includes a question of the month, in which students are interviewed for their answers. The March edition featured the question “What woman in history inspires you?”
