Recording a Radio Show

Today's Goal:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6.6
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.6
Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, demonstrating command of formal English when indicated or appropriate. (See grade 6 Language standards 1 and 3 for specific expectations.)

The Plan:

1. Read
2. Radio Show: recording and publishing your work

BEFORE YOU MAY RECORD:

1. Your essay must be complete. If you haven't finished your essay, you can't do this step, and you need to work on that. 
2. Read your "This I Believe" essay OUT LOUD to three different people. 
3. While you read you BOTH should be looking at the essay being read on the computer screen. 
4. WHEN you find confusing parts, fix it together. If Ms. Black has scored yours and left you comments, fix these, too. They are there to help you.
5. The listener must sign the sheet of paper that Ms. Black gives you to prove that you have read it to them.
6. After you turn in your sheet of paper, you may move to the next step: "How to Record."

HOW TO RECORD YOUR THIS I BELIEVE RADIO SPOT

1. Open Twisted Wave
2. Click "Sign in" and then the big red button that says "Sign in with Google"
3. Once you sign in, click "New" and then "empty file."
4. A new window will pop up. At the top it will say "(Untitled)." Click on it and change the name to be THE NAME OF YOUR PODCAST by YOUR NAME

5. Record! You do this by pressing the red circle button. Start by saying "Hello, my name is _____ and my personal narrative is entitled ________________. (Then start reading)
6. If you mess up, start over.
7. If you mess up again, start over again. It will be okay.
8. If you find that there is an error or issue that is confusing in your essay, stop and fix it.
9. Once you are done, click "File" then "Send to Google Drive. It will then be living in your Google Drive!
10. Submit it on Google Classroom! You do this by attaching the file to the assignment. If you don't attach the file, I won't get it! Then you're done! Great work!
