In their final Poetry Podcast, Mrs. McBride's reading class share their own work. This podcast features quite a bit of variety; martians and animals, seasons and dreams... all are included. Several students present their name acrostic poems, creating a piece that uses each letter of their names to share something about themselves.
Lots of poems meant lots of work for directors Jospeh, McKenzie and Tyrell, but it also meant they had lots of music to select! To comment on this or any other podcast, contact the class at pmcbride@esu16.org.

Mrs. McBride's Reading students selected several fun school-related poems for this month's Progress Poetry Podcast.
Alexa and Blair had too work quite hard to turn all those fun poems into a good podcast. They made adjustments to audio volume and pieced in a missing student, not gettng much time to work on background music.
The hard work was worth it... excellent podcast, girls!

Directors Nicollette and Brennan had a great time producing this month's Western-themed Poetry Podcast. A cowgirl- and her horse, a "vacation" with Grandma, the nighttime sounds of th great outdoors and a different type of fast food... all come to life in these poems by Eric Ode.

Poet Shel Silverstein is the focus of this month's podcast. Directors Ryan and Rebekkah seemed to be in a in a rainy-day mood when editing the poems (that "Sick" poem took a long time to get right), but the funny poems cheered them up. How does poetry affect your mood?

In this podcast, Mrs. McBride's Second Grade Reading students share their own original poems. The variety of poems meant a lot of work for our directors, Avery and Joseph. In addition to editing out several mistakes, they used background music to help emphasize the several "themes" and styles of the poems.
Which type of poem do YOU like best?

Tall tales and sily songs from the west by author Eric Ode are the focus of this month's Poetry Podcast from Mrs. McBride's Reading class. Directors T.J. and Addison had a challenging podcast to put together this month. The girls said it was a "brain-teaser" and a challenging but fun experience. They inserted a missing student and dealt with a number of technical difficulties- and still came out with a terrific finished product.
Unfortunately, due to those technical difficulties (the older version of Guitar Band didn't help), this month's podcast was only available to listen to in class.
We'll keep trying to get it up.

Annie and Jesse, this podcast's Directors, are excited about the inflection the students used in their readings. They are also proud of the opening and closing background (and proud of all the middle music pieces they selected).

Students present their own poems this month. From cinquains (five-line poems) to lengthy personal poems inspired by Jack Prelutsky and other authors. The result? What editors Lily, Lucy and Cameron called "giggly, wiggly, bouncy poems."
