An example of a curriculum practice that connects audio and oral meanings to reading and writing is the use of podcast creation in the classroom. In this activity, students record a podcast episode related to a topic they have studied, such as a historical event, a science concept, or a character analysis from a story. Before recording, they must research the topic, write a script, and plan how to present their ideas clearly and engagingly. Afterward, they listen to their recordings, reflect on their tone, pacing, and delivery, and then create a written transcript or reflection paper about their experience.
