This time our topic is related to the other two, and in fact, kind of combines the other two.
We're going to explore the "right to read around the world." Here's my rationale: First, our focus is on world cultures this quarter. We begin with what is now Nigeria. Next, we'll read about an Indian family that has recently immigrated to the United States. After that, you'll have a choice of novels to read. And finally, we'll finish with a text about the Iranian Revolution. My second reason for choosing this podcast topic is that the third graders are thinking about what it means to have a "right" to read, and issues regarding literacy and the law.
Our common text will be Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortenson.
By Friday, you'll need to post an idea for your podcast script and citations for the sources you're using on Moodle. I'll demonstrate in class how we're going to use SIRS as a jumping off point for our research this time.
