This lesson plan describes a project done by students for an online, at-home Honors ELA course (6th grade). Students find a published, narrative story that they would like to retell. They evaluate the quality of that story using a rubric. Then they learn about performance techniques (diction, inflection, and pacing) and practice their storytelling. Eventually, they audio-record themselves telling the story using GarageBand. This audio file is submitted as the project, and is graded with a rubric. I published the audio files onto a Google Site and called it our class podcast! Viking ship image by pixabay.com
