This week, we're beginning research on our new podcast. The topic of the podcast will be "literacy." It's a broad topic, and it could include many subtopics: book clubs, book reviews, illiteracy, standardized testing, loving to read, hating to read, literacy around the world, learning a second language.... these are a few that just came to me.
The Indiana 3rd graders are reading Mr. George Baker as a jumping-off point for their podcast. We'll be reading this, too.
To get us started today, I want you to explore issues related to literacy. You have to do two things:
1) Click through the links on literacy at my Diigo page. You can get there by clicking here. While you're browsing, think of what aspect you'd like to focus on during your segment of the podcast.
2) Find one database source on the literacy topic of your choice. Use the EHS online databases. Print your article, bring it home, read it, and then type up the following: A short synopsis of the article and the correct MLA citation. This is due Tuesday.
