LI: To create a podcast showcasing the first part of your story.
The above presentation is the fifth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video in which we were challenged to create our own podcast on a witchy story. A podcast is like an audio storybook in which the reader can read and listen to the text at the same time. I then read some recommended stories like "Room on the broom" by Julia Donaldson and "The witches" by Roald Dahl. It was very helpful as I got at idea on how to create my story and I think I made a great start with this activity.
I read more stories and specially loved one, "The unusual witch" by H. P. Lovecraft and thought of taking it as my story. I changed some words and decreased the text as the story was quite long and I didn't have much images. Then I used vocaroo and recorded myself saying the texts in parts. I thought of leaving the story at an exciting part, which will make the readers want to read the second part of the story as well. I loved completing this activity because I learnt how to summarise texts and use my smart searching skills at the same time. I am looking forward to complete the second part of this activity as well.
Kia ora Sakshi,
ReplyDeleteWow! Another fantastic post! You are a star. I am marking this as an outstanding blog post for bonus points. Ka pai Sakshi!
I think it was a great idea to read a few stories before choosing one. I had never heard of "The Unusual Witch" before, so this was really interesting!
I really loved listening to your story, you are a great story teller. I really liked that there was the message of being different not being a bad thing.
Now I know that it might be cheating but I'm dying to know - what is the witches destiny?!
If you were to write a witchy story, what message would you want to share?
Ngā mihi,
