This year at Cabot School, our high schoolers worked on a project called StoryCorps: Cabot.
Students began by researching the history of Cabot and identifying an area of interest. At the same time, we studied what makes a good podcast and host. Students then conducted deeper research, set up interviews with local experts, and synthesized their research and interviews into podcast episode scripts. Finally, they used those scripts and their recorded interviews to produce a high-quality podcast episode that tells one of the stories of Cabot, from the people of Cabot.
