SOL/Standard - 3.R.1 Evaluation and Synthesis of InformationÂ
Students picked one of their favorite books they wanted others students at Montrose to know about. They took notes to summarize key events, setting, and character of the book, Researched about the author, and explained why they loved the book to encourage others read the book themselves. We used Notebook LM to turn their book report into a podcast episode. Each student now has an episode of their book to a website page they create together to be used in the Montrose library for others to listen to to hear more about books they may like to read.Â
I can't believe it sounds like real people! And it's funny!Â
