This assignment was super fun and I can see students of all grades enjoying it! For my podcast, I modeled how to analyze a text for theme using textual evidence. I read on the motif of "light", then at the end assigned each of my two groups their motifs. This idea of a podcast for teaching & assignments is especially poignant today when we are battling with online & hybrid teaching. This assignment would be a wonderful way for students to collaborate together, as well, being "co-hosts". I think this would be an excellent tool to use in conjunction with video as well, that way students have their choice. I can imagine in either an english or social studies class creating a faux news station where every group gets to act as anchors and discuss either current events, or the events of their books as if they were real. This would be especially fun for Romeo & Juliet, I think!
Similar to the video assignment, podcasts give one the opportunity to meet the following ISTE standards: learner, collaborator, designer, leader, facilitator, analyst. Podcast assignments also meet the following UDL guideline(s): engagement, representation, action & expression. I got my theme analysis from here.
