Day #18 and 19 (Thursday, March 28 and Friday March 29) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

Today you will assess each other’s podcasts using the assessment tool we introduced to

you when you assessed Lydia and Jack's podcast.

Here is a link to the Clarklisto 2019 Podcast. 

Once you open the podcast link above, open this document and follow steps below:

  

1. Make a copy “replace copy of” with your name   example--Angie Podcast assessment evals
2. Share this document with me
3. Listen to a podcast and take notes use the handout to guide your notes.
4. Write paragraph evaluation on this document
5. Fill out this survey for each podcast
6. Copy and paste the paragraph into the survey.
7. Submit survey
8. Repeat process until all 12 podcasts are done.

A general formula for writing your paragraph write up is below. 

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS EXAMPLE OF A WRITE UP:

The podcast featured Jack Higgins and it highlighted the conditions and the liberation of Dachau. It taught me that Dachau was one of the worst camps to be sent to. Most prisoners when freed were less than a hundred lbs and had to go through a lengthy recovery but were always reminded of the camp by their tattoo. A fascinating fact is after the liberation the guards were at the mercy of the troops and prisoners and often beat with whatever was around. It even got to the point that guards who surrendered were gunned down in cold blood for revenge. A suggestion I would give is to time the sound effects better instead of having a long pause before continuing the sentence. A strength of the podcast was it really felt like I was there while listening due to the immense detail. All in all this podcast made me realize that the guards and prisoners didn’t have it easy while at a concentration camp.

Part 1:
This part of the block is devoted to making any changes you see necessary either to your main story or to your SWS. You need to determine where your efforts will be best focused. Use list below to make your decisions: 
Each group needs to:

1. Finalize the Podcast:

A) Make sure your MAIN STORY is finalized and exactly how you need it to be on the transcript document.

B) Each individual should make sure his/her individual story is complete.  150-200 words. Consider spacing. Then each SWS should be pasted into the main story.  Please make each SWS a different color.

C) Make sure it is clear in the Podcast Transcript who will speak.

D) Once each SWS is added in make sure you have properly transitioned into an out of it in the Podcast transcript. See example linked below:

EXAMPLE FINAL PODCAST

 E) Spellcheck your document and proofread for typos.

Part II:

 Now that the FINAL VERSION is complete you need to do the following:

A) LIST YOUR IDEAS FOR SOUND EFFECTS--DO NOT find them yet just go through the script and list your ideas where you are planning to play them and highlight them in pink 

See example above

Keep in mind the sound effects should not be distracting 2-3 is most likely enough
Background music to transition is ok-be sure to indicate the mood you are trying to create

B) If time allows, you may begin searching for your sound effects--you will link these to your document directly
HEre is a link to some free resources

Day #12 (Tuesday, March 18) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

Part 1:
Use suggestions made by Mr. Clark and Ms. Carlisto to work together with your partners to finalize your main story.
The aspects of podcasts you liked:

• It had a hook--drew you in, made you want to listen
• Made us feel like we were there.
• Sensory detail-It painted a picture for the listener.
• Are we emotionally connected to your character?
• Are we emotionally connected to the topic? Have you made us care about it? Can we relate to it?
• Background information made us understand the story
• Easy to follow-pause time and repetition allowed ideas to “sink in”
• Questions asked are for a reason--reiterate info, "wake reader up"
• Conversational-there was give and take but not all the time
• Suspense created
• It was story-like not like an essay
• Does it flow?
• Does it have a clear Beginning Middle and End?
• Does the ending pack a punch?

Does yours do all of these?

Part 2:
Now it's time to work on your SWS. You are all encouraged to bring these short pieces ALIVE. Be sure your classmates can follow your story AND make sure it is NOT a textbook-like.

Take time to revise your SWS.

When done your advisor who will rate it on a scale of 1-5. See below:

5- Excellent

4- Very Good

3- Good

2- Needs Work

1-Please rethink and redo

SWS Considerations:

It had a hook--drew me in, made me want to listen

Sensory detail- did it paint a picture?

Have you made me care about your SWS?

Can I relate to it?

Easy to follow

It was story-like not like an essay

Did it flow?

Does it have a clear Background Middle and END?

HW: Both the main story and the SWS have to be FINALIZED before class tomorrow.

Read IR books-Novels are due March 26th

Day #11 (Monday, March 18) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

Today is devoted to writing your SWS and getting feedback from us.

The first step is to take out your SWS article and your list of 10-12 musts.

Next you will need to consider how you will organize your SWS. Remember, while it is to be informative,
it also still has to grab and pull your audience along.

Example

Next log into your drive, press the new button and create a new Google doc.Name
it yourname SWS  AngieSWS and share it with me.

Now type your SWS. It should be anywhere from 125-175 words in length and be quality work
that you can be proud of completing.

While you are working on your SWS, Ms. Carlisto and Mr. Clark will talk with each of you in your groups
about your main story. We will provide feedback about how to make it a stronger Podcast.

You will use the last 20 minutes of class to reconvene with your group and make changes to your main
story as suggested by your teacher.

HW: Completed SWS due in class tomorrow.

Day #10 (Friday, March 15) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

Today, each group writes the first draft of the MAIN STORY.

1. Each student go to the WWII Timeline and pull down his/her article with the 3-column write-up.  Hand it in to Mr. Clark.

2. Get with your group.  Open up yesterday's transcript.  Start writing your first draft.

As you write, the following should be out:
* All copies of the story
* The plan for writing the story (acts 1, 2, 3)
* The list of musts on your workspace (in blue)

Consider assigning roles:

Day #9 (Thursday, March 14) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

   What is the Story of the Atomic Bomb during WWII?

                                                                   (Hallway Field Trip - 5-7 minutes)

Today, we will start to write the podcast.  We will use an example from previous 8th graders as our guide.  (Current 10th Graders)  We will start with the MAIN STORY.

First, let's work on the introduction.  Let's listen to the introduction (50 Seconds) of ROBERT KROHN'S STORY on the TRINITY TEST.

Was this an effective introduction?  Why or why not?  Discuss with your partner(s).  Class discussion with Mr. Clark. (5 Minutes)

What makes an effective introduction?  Class discussion with Ms Carlisto (5 Minutes)

Remember it is just setting the stage for the whole story --it is NOT Act 1. It is probably going to include some back and forth dialog.
see our  example here

Some Options to consider:

     *Give us a glimpse of a particularly intense part of your story--just enough that we are interested

     *Find a way to help us (your peers) relate to the situation/soldier in your story "Imagine...."

     *shock us with interesting info or statistics, appeal to our emotions

  

   

Now, look at the 3 examples you have from last night's home work and write your introduction as a group. (Rest of class) 

This agreed on intro should be done on a new Google document named Podcast Transcript for (your names) 

Share it with Ms. C and partners

Link it to the words  OUR DRAFT at the top of your podcast workspace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, Let's Look at and Listen to a WWII Podcast  We also need to know how this podcast will be assessed.

1. Look at FINAL transcript  from an 8th grader (Clark)

2. Look at RATING FORM (Carlisto)

3. Listen to PODCAST

4. Students now assess the podcast on ROBERT KROHN'S STORY on the TRINITY TEST.
remember-write your paragraph on a google doc named grades then copy and paste it into the form.

HW:  1. Complete ANYTHING that has not been completed.  Tomorrow we write rough drafts.
          2. Complete introduction rough draft
          3. Complete assessment of Jack's and Lydia's podcast

Part 1: Students will take steps to prepare SWS (Story Within the Story).  Take out your article.

Mr Clark's Example (2 page article):

List 10-12 Crucial Aspects of Story. 

Mr. Clark's List:
USA emotionally hurt by PH Bombing
James Doolittle has idea to retaliate
Strike back with bombers - Plan was BOLD
Bomb 4 cities with 16 planes, 4 bombs each
Training was intense
Doolittle took off first - April, 1942
Doolittle was a true leader
Japanese citizens cheered them on - Fascinating
Dropped bombs flew until fuel was gone
4 men captured and executed
Raid worked - psychological victory for USA

Mr Clark's Write-Up: (100-150 words)  Conciseness is key skill.

Indeed I do!  A retaliatory strike on Japan, the home island - It was bold, brave and a little crazy-
but it worked.  Sixteen B-25 bombers would be launched from US aircraft carriers and hit
Japanese cities. After intensive training the attack was set for April 18, 1942.  Lt Colonel James
Doolittle, the mastermind behind the plan, feeling fellow pilots were a bit antsy, took off first.
Bold and brave!

Each plane carried four bombs - targeting four Japanese cities, Tokyo being the main target.  
Doolittle and his crew flew so low that Japanese citizens cheered, thinking they were fellow
Japanese. Wrong. The bombs hit their targets, the planes ventured away to escape.
The crews flew until they ran out fuel, most made it to safety to China, four men were captured
and executed.  The damage incurred was minor but it was a psychological win for America, we
had struck back! We had avenged Pearl Harbor.

Let's have a listen to how this is within the WWII Podcast.

Now, students need to list the important aspects of their SWS on the workspace document.

Part 2: Switching back to the main story

Organize your story--how will you tell it? Fill out this sheet in

hard copy. One per group.

Part 3: The writing begins

Each group member will write an introduction to their
podcast.This is to be done on the workspace document.

HW: Complete any tasks that are as yet incomplete:

*SWS musts

*Introduction (each individual is responsible for his/her own)

*Read your soldier's story another time--you must be at a point

where you can retell the soldier's story without it in front of you

Day #7 (Tuesday, March 12) - WWII Podcasts - Clarklisto Q3

(20 minutes) As a group you will create a list of must haves when retelling your soldier's story. This is to be a bulleted list  and should appear on your workspace document in blue font. This list should be generated by talking as a group and determining what an audience of your peers will need in order to understand and be moved by your soldier's story.

Example - Daniel Inouye & Bombing of Pearl Harbor:
Awakens, radio warning
Japan is bombing PH "Not a Test"
"Saw the Planes"
18 years old, parents came from Japan
Doesn't want to admit it's happening - his family's homeland
Black smoke outside
Japanese planes buzz
Local Red Cross calls
He's a medic, wants to help
Chaos on the streets, disbelief
"You Dirty Japs" shaking his fists
Old Elementary School is aid station 
9AM a Japanese 2nd wave
Leaves aid station to go "where the trouble lies"
1/2 US Fleet destroyed at Pearl Harbor
USS Arizona hit 4 times by the Japanese
Reality of war smacks him in the face
He witnesses headless and legless victims
"Steps out of his body" - to help the wounded
Helped the injured, removed charred bodies, put bodies in boxes
Watched a man have to ID his wife and child
Worked 2 full days and nights
Inouye goes on to fight in WWII, loses an arm in Italy

Next we will ask you to identify the possibilities for stories within the main

story (SWS)

EX > DANIEL INOUYE - BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR

Brainstorm

You will do this by creating a map that shows at least 6 researchable stories within the stories.

Decision time:

Consider each option and discuss the pros and cons of developing the story--consider how it will fit into
the main story you just finished talking about.

Decide who is doing which SWS.

Roll up your sleeves and research

Find an article from a reputable source that will give you enough information to write your own
"story within the story". Remember this is not an eyewitness account but more like a research article
that you need. Use the research strategies we used at the beginning of the year. You will be required
to get our approval for the article and the SWS.

Find a good article
Get it approved by your advisor

Provide link to your research and the topic of your SWS on the workspace.

Print the article

READ AND ANNOTATE

Remember, you have to write an interesting piece on this topic. This requires you to know it well. Read for understanding. If there is not enough information, find another resource.

HW: Article must be annotated heavily and notes taken
