In the Classroom: Podcasting Pilgrims

On Thursday I asked my 4th graders to briefly describe to each other the imaginary Pilgrims (protagonists for works of historical fiction they will soon be writing) they had created the day before. Figuring it would be fun I decided to record and podcast these little character descriptions. You can listen to all of them on our blog, but here are a few that are especially delightful.

Elizabeth Ann Button

John Hopkins

Charlotte Anne Clarke

Samuel Fletcher

Here are several posts describing what we’ve done so far:
