hopefully the chitter chatter of the classmates in the background wont be too distracting from our story!

Five questions
These questions will help the student use his/her experiences and incorporate them into the story.
1. What is the title of the story?
2.What do you think this story will be about?
3.How do you think the baby bird felt when he hatched and didn't see his mother?
4.Why do you think none of the animals he asked " Are you my mother?'' denied the baby bird as their baby?
5.If this were you, What would you do? How would you feel? Would you stay and wait or be like the baby bird and venture out?

2nd shot at reading
Cristina and I just finished reading the story Are you my mother?. It was a success. Although some of the classmates were being disrespectful and talking while recording everything went well. We synced up at the end it was a little hard but we managed. We kept a positive outlook on the situation, we read, had great posture while doing said reading and we had fun. Having fun while reading gives the students a sense of enjoyment that brings them in to the reading side. Our next attepmt would be better.
brain storming
Today we have to think beforehand of what we are planning to do with our story. I think it's self explanatory but pre-thinking it is in a way difficult. There are many scenarios that can occur while attepmting to read said story.
Working with Cristina has been a joy, we know where we want to go with the story, and we have great ideas to incorporate into pod casting our story. I will ask Cristina if she would like to start off with the five questions Dr. Luongo asked us to write for the story. These five questions will slowly but surely get the student/s to join in on the reading (depending on the grade level).
I will write back on the success we've had. (Think positively!)

Podcasting
What do you know about pod casting?
Honestly, I really do not know anything about pod casting. I'm just getting the hang of this said pod casting
What do you think/want to learn about pod casting?
I would like to learn how to become good at pod casting, half-ass is not an option...I would like to learn how it can be added onto a lesson and how pod casting came to be for some odd reason....I'm a nerd I need specifics :-)
What do you see as the advantages to pod casting?
I think the advantages are that if in a school scene you give the students a chance to become aware of how they sound all the while controlling some aspects of what they do. Another good thing about pod casting is that you get to hear how you as the teacher sound and experience what the students hear. Whether you say umm or you guys or the little things you just don't catch yourself saying because its so second nature.

Good day
Well, today started off great. Spent most of my day studying and writing papers. I looked into some websites in regards to Are You My Mother? story. I found some neat worksheets and assignments that could be added onto a lesson.
