He's Just Got To Go

I decided to think of my podcast in an educational way. I am not feeling so great today. Maybe this was my inspiration for this tech task. I thought of coming up with a lesson plan that I could have ready for any age level of class if I was to be sick and needed to call in a sub. I thought that reading a children’s book filled with images and descriptions would be a great starting point for various assignments. After this, depending on the subject and age of the students, they would be required to complete an assignment based on this book. For example, if it is an art class, have students take one of the lines from the book and use it for inspiration to create a work of art (any medium). A drama class could act out one of the scenes from the book, create a mime, or do charades. If it is a social class, have students research a historical building or aspect of Vancouver. For elementary students, do a project on cats. These are just a few examples, but they can be taken as far as ones imagination goes. I only read part of the book due to the 1-3 minute time limit of this assignment, but you get the picture. I chose to read the beginning of Mister Got to Go by Lois Simmie, one of my favourite authors.

I ended up going a bit over three minutes in the end, but it was hard to end before that point. I added sound effects from Partners In Rhyme.com and music from Pod Safe Audio.com.
